Procrastination

The "Procrastination" meme originated from a scene in episode 29 of season 3 (episode 118 overall) of the Japanese anime "PriPara." In this episode, the character "Akai Megane" says, "What can be done today can also be done tomorrow," suggesting not to rush but to take it slow, while clasping his hands together and moving them, exclaiming, "Procrastination!" This scene humorously portrays the character's attitude towards delaying tasks, leaving a strong impression on many viewers.

Although this scene did not gain much attention when the anime aired in 2018, it started gaining popularity in 2020 after a clip was uploaded to YouTube. Particularly in April 2024, it was revisited on social media under the title "The Theme Song for MBTI P-Type People," attracting widespread attention. Many parody and lip-sync videos were created on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, quickly accumulating millions of views and spreading rapidly.

The "Procrastination" meme is mainly used to humorously depict the psychology of people who tend to delay tasks. For instance, it illustrates people postponing important work or assignments or satirizes laziness in everyday life. This meme addresses the issue of procrastination in a lighthearted and entertaining way, bringing laughter to people. Additionally, it has been used as a parody name for fictional organizations like the "National Procrastination Association," incorporating humorous elements into social issues and events.
