The Marriott Carpet meme specifically celebrates the dizzying, swirling blue and yellow pattern found at the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina, which gained cult status among San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) attendees. It rose to fame around 2013 when cosplayers began creating 'camo' suits that perfectly matched the carpet's design to 'disappear' into the hotel floor. Since then, it has evolved into a symbol of convention culture, often used to represent the feeling of being overwhelmed by crowds or the nostalgia of late-night hotel lobby hangouts. Whether it's used for camouflage jokes or making fun of questionable interior design choices, the Marriott Carpet remains one of the most niche yet recognizable patterns in internet history.
