Emo Memes

Behold, the perfect molecular pun. That structure isn't hemoglobin—it's heme, the iron-containing porphyrin molecule that gives blood its red color and your teenage phase its chemical justification. The meme brilliantly combines the emo subculture (characterized by that iconic swoopy haircut) with biochemistry. Technically, your blood contains hemoglobin, which has four heme groups, but why ruin a perfectly good pun with scientific accuracy? Just like that phase where you wrote poetry about darkness in your notebook, this molecule is essential yet dramatically misunderstood.
