Gekyume refers to the son of the late rapper XXXTentacion, born in early 2019. The name itself, coined by his father to mean 'a different state' or 'next universe,' immediately became a focal point for internet culture. Shortly after his birth, surreal and ironic memes began circulating on platforms like Instagram, Reddit, and iFunny, often featuring absurd captions, deep-fried edits, or bizarre lore. While some memes focus on the unique nature of his name, others evolved into meta-commentary on hip-hop fandom, representing a shift toward the '21st-century humor' aesthetic. Today, the Gekyume meme remains a staple of hip-hop fan circles and ironic meme communities who enjoy its nonsensical and chaotic energy.
