The Ahegao Hoodie, often referred to as the 'Hentai Hoodie,' became a viral internet sensation as a piece of 'otaku' fashion featuring a black-and-white collage of exaggerated anime faces. Emerging in the mid-2010s, it quickly evolved from a niche subculture item to a mainstream symbol of ironic cringe and public trolling. The meme typically revolves around the audacity of wearing the garment in inappropriate or public settings, such as school, family dinners, or formal events. It highlights the clash between extreme internet subcultures and traditional social norms, often used to depict situations of peak social awkwardness or 'enlightened' irony.
