The 'Brony' phenomenon refers to the unexpected adult male fanbase of the animated series 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic', which debuted in 2010. What began as an ironic interest on 4chan's /b/ board rapidly transformed into a genuine subculture known for its fan art, music, and massive conventions. Brony memes often explore the juxtaposition of adult life with the show's themes of kindness and magic, or use the colorful cast of ponies to react to modern internet drama. This movement serves as a landmark in digital history, challenging traditional gender norms and demonstrating the power of grassroots online communities to shape pop culture trends.
