The Mia Goth meme phenomenon primarily centers around her powerhouse performance in Ti West’s horror trilogy, specifically the viral 'I’m a star!' breakdown in the film Pearl. This moment, characterized by Goth’s raw emotional intensity and desperate ambition, resonated across social media as the ultimate reaction for feeling overlooked or high-achieving. Beyond Pearl, Goth’s distinctive look and her roles in X and MaXXXine have solidified her as a modern cult icon in internet culture. These memes are frequently used to express dramatic flair, intense dedication to a craft, or simply as a relatable outburst for when someone isn't getting the recognition they deserve.
