Mewing, originally a tongue-posture technique developed by orthodontist Mike Mew, transcended its medical origins to become a massive internet phenomenon within the 'looksmaxxing' community. The meme typically features individuals performing a 'shushing' gesture followed by pointing to their defined jawline, often accompanied by the song 'Icewhore' by Lumi Athena. It represents a way of ignoring distractions or avoiding conversation to focus on physical self-improvement. While it started as a legitimate aesthetic practice, it has evolved into a satirical trend used to 'mog' others or simply showcase an exaggeratedly sharp facial structure.
