25+ Midwest Memes for Nice Folks Who Say Ope (September 12, 2025)

Midwesterners know how to get cozy just as much as we know how to party. Sure, when summer is in full swing, we love firing up the grill and inviting all our friends over for a bags tournament. We're extroverted as they come when the weather is nice. But when the world starts to cool and the leaves start to change, we're just as adept at curling up with a mug of tea and a good book and saying goodbye to the world for a while. It's a boom and bust system. We have to store up our energy for the summer months when we whisk ourselves off to the nearest lake (and there are many of them) and get busy on our jet skis. 

But we couldn't sustain that all year, even if the lake didn't freeze over. No, we need our time to rest and rejuvenate. So what do we do when that time comes? Memes are a huge part of the Midwestern summer recovery process. We've put down our barbecue tongs and picked up our phones, and we're scrolling through our favorite stuff.
