The American Cup Song is a viral parody of the 'Cups' song originally performed by Anna Kendrick in the movie Pitch Perfect. Instead of using a plastic cup to create a rhythmic beat, the parody features a person performing the same sequence with a firearm, culminating in a loud gunshot or the loading of a magazine. It first gained massive traction on platforms like YouTube and Vine before exploding on TikTok, where users added their own variations. The meme serves as a dark-humor commentary on American gun culture and the juxtaposition of wholesome musical trends with gritty reality. It remains a popular template for highlighting extreme versions of everyday activities.
