The 'In The End' meme template features elements from the well-known rock song "In The End" by Linkin Park, recognized for its chorus, "I tried so hard, and got so far, in the end it doesn't even matter." Originally, the song held significant popularity but has since become a subject of ironic humor. Furthermore, it found a niche audience in anime music videos (AMVs), where it saw renewed appreciation within that community. The phrase occasionally surfaces in various meme formats that play on the existential or futile efforts portrayed in the lyrics.
