Fish-Mouth Syndrome, often referred to as the 'Fish Gape,' emerged as a successor to the infamous 'Duck Face' in the mid-2010s. It involves slightly parting the lips to create a more relaxed, sultry look, often seen on red carpets and Instagram. The meme version typically mocks the perceived vanity of the pose or compares the person to a literal fish gasping for air. It is widely used to poke fun at influencer culture and the absurdity of hyper-specific beauty trends that look strange when observed out of context.
