Carl the Cuck and AIDS Skrillex are nicknames given to two individuals who appeared in a viral 2016 video capturing a heated exchange between Donald Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters. The footage, filmed at a 'Stump for Trump' event, gained massive traction on platforms like 4chan and Reddit due to the distinct appearances and intense reactions of the protesters involved. 'Carl' became known for his circular logic and specific argumentative style, while 'AIDS Skrillex' (named for her haircut's resemblance to the EDM artist) became an overnight face of internet outrage. The meme is predominantly used to satirize political polarization, the 'social justice warrior' archetype, and the highly charged atmosphere of the 2016 election cycle.
