The Jacarina Shader meme originates from the popular looter-shooter Destiny 2, specifically following the release of the Season of Arrivals. When the shader was first revealed in the Eververse store, players were excited for a sleek, monochromatic black and grey aesthetic suggested by the item's icon. However, upon application to armor and weapons, a vibrant, unadvertised electric blue color appeared prominently. This 'bait and switch' led to a flood of memes within the Destiny community, characterizing Jacarina as the ultimate betrayal of fashion. It is now used to represent anything that looks simple on the surface but contains a shocking, unwanted surprise underneath.
