The Brian Szasz meme emerged during the frantic search for the OceanGate Titan submersible in June 2023. As the world watched the rescue efforts for the five passengers, including billionaire Hamish Harding, his stepson Brian Szasz drew intense public scrutiny for attending a Blink-182 concert and feuding with celebrities like Cardi B on social media. The meme typically highlights the absurdity of his behavior during a global tragedy, often juxtaposing serious news with his nonchalant or aggressive digital presence. It has become a symbol of modern internet infamy and the bizarre ways people handle crisis in the public eye.
