The Alphabet Aerobics meme is inspired by the 1999 hit song by hip-hop duo Blackalicious, celebrated for its increasingly fast tempo and alliterative lyrics. It gained a massive second life in internet culture after actor Daniel Radcliffe performed a flawless rendition on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2014. The meme typically depicts the transition from a calm start to absolute lyrical chaos as the performer progresses through the alphabet. It is frequently used to represent situations that escalate quickly in difficulty, speed, or intensity, or simply to mock one's own attempt at keeping up with high-pressure tasks.
