The 'Hampter' meme revolves around a low-resolution, wide-angle photo of a hamster staring directly into the camera lens with a blank expression. Rising to internet fame in early 2021, the meme is defined by its intentional misspelling and its frequent appearance in '21st Century Humor' video edits. Often accompanied by a sped-up version of the song 'Summertime' by Maggie x Nyan, the image evokes a sense of surrealism and absurdity. It is widely used as a reaction image to signify being overwhelmed, confused, or just to provide a moment of unexpected comedic silence in digital conversations.
