The Hurricane Matthew Meets Slayer meme features Florida resident Lane Pittman standing shirtless in the middle of a street during the 2016 hurricane, headbanging while holding an American flag as Slayer’s Raining Blood blasts. The video went viral for its sheer absurdity and the 'zero f***s given' attitude displayed in the face of a natural disaster. It has since become a staple template for situations involving extreme confidence, staying calm during total chaos, or simply expressing a love for heavy metal and patriotism. Users often use this image to represent themselves thriving in a stressful environment or ignoring a massive problem to focus on something they enjoy.
