The 'Hackers Gonna Hack' meme is a play on the popular 'Haters Gonna Hate' catchphrase, usually paired with imagery of someone looking like a stereotypical cyber-intruder. It often features a person in a dark hoodie or 90s-style computer gear surrounded by green 'Matrix' code or excessive hardware. While it can be used to celebrate genuine coding feats, the meme’s most popular usage involves ironically portraying mundane technical tasks—like plugging in a USB on the first try or inspecting a browser’s source code—as elite cyber-warfare. It serves as a humorous commentary on the dramatization of technology in media and the self-aggrandizement of tech enthusiasts.
