To someone who hasn’t been particularly chronically online over the last decade, explaining whatcursed imagesare can be a challenge. Words like “weird” or “bizarre” don’t quite do them justice. Honestly, trying to define them feels almost pointless—it’s something you just have to see to truly understand.

Still, there have been attempts to pin down a definition for the elusive cursed image. If you fire up itsWikipedia entry, you’ll find it described as “a picture (usually a photograph) that is perceived as mysterious or disturbing due to its content, poor quality, or a combination of the two” and and as something meant to make you wonder why the image even exists in the first place.

A personal favorite, however, might be theUrban Dictionary’s definition. In a 2017 post, someone referred to a cursed image as “any image that can incite the 5 W’s in a person—these 5 W’s being who, what, when, where, and why.” According to the entry, it’s the lack of answers to these questions that makes a cursed image truly cursed.

That same year, Brian Feldman interviewed Doug Battenhausen, the creator of the Tumblr bloginternethistory, forNew York Magazine. When Feldman asked him what the appeal of cursed images was, Battenhausen explained: “It’s a lot of things. It’s the mystery of the photo, it’s the strange aesthetics of them, it’s seeing a place that you’ve never seen before, or an intimate glimpse into somebody’s life.”

Whatever cursed images may be, they’ve rightfully established themselves as a cornerstone of what makes the internet what it is. But if looking at and discussing them has worn you out, you might be curious to know there’s actually the opposite—blessed images.And of course, because that wasn’t enough, the internet also created the termblursed, a combination of both, and as you’d expect, it’s exactly what the name suggests. The web truly is a wild place.
