The ABG (Asian Baby Girl) meme and subculture originated in the late 20th century but saw a massive resurgence on platforms like TikTok and Subtle Asian Traits in the late 2010s. Characterized by a specific aesthetic including false eyelashes, bleached hair, tattoos, and a love for bubble tea and music festivals, the 'ABG' evolved from a niche urban stereotype into a widely recognized baddie persona. Memes often focus on the ABG Transformation—where a studious girl adopts the aesthetic—or utilize starter packs to poke fun at the ubiquitous presence of boba, Hennessy, and rave culture within the community. It serves as both a celebration of a distinct Asian-American identity and a humorous critique of its most recognizable tropes.
