The 2013 NYC Motorcycle Attack meme stems from a viral helmet-cam video of a high-speed pursuit and physical confrontation between a Range Rover driver and a large group of motorcyclists on New York City's West Side Highway. While the original event was a serious legal case, the dramatic visuals of a lone vehicle being swarmed by dozens of bikers became an internet metaphor for being overwhelmed or ganged up on. Meme creators use the template to illustrate situations where a single entity is suddenly faced with a massive, unstoppable force of opposition, often representing social media backlash or life's many simultaneous stressors.
