Born from the internet, the phrase "TFW No GF" was originally used online to describe a lack of romantic companionship. Since then, it has evolved to symbolize a greater state of existence defined by isolation, rejection and alienation.

Meet the lost boys who came of age on the internet- places like 4chan and Twitter, where they find camaraderie in despair.
