Gag City is a viral internet phenomenon that emerged in late 2023 following the anticipation and release of Nicki Minaj's studio album, Pink Friday 2. It began when 'Barbz' (Minaj's dedicated fan base) started using AI image generators to visualize a hyper-futuristic, candy-pink utopia dedicated to the rapper. The trend quickly transcended the fan base, with major global brands and celebrities posting their own AI-generated pink landscapes to claim their 'residency' in Gag City. The meme represents a blend of high-fashion surrealism, fan culture enthusiasm, and the rapid evolution of generative AI in meme-making, symbolizing a digital escape to a world where everything is pink, perfect, and serves to 'gag' the audience with its aesthetic excellence.
