Miku Miku Dance, commonly known as MMD, is a free animation program created by Yu Higuchi in 2008 initially for the Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku. While originally designed for fan-made music videos, it quickly evolved into a powerful tool for the meme community due to its accessibility and the vast library of user-created models. From the 'Specialist' dance trend to surreal crossovers featuring characters from different franchises, MMD memes often lean into glitchy physics or highly synchronized dance routines. The software’s legacy lies in its democratization of 3D animation, allowing creators to put any character—from anime icons to Shrek—into absurd, rhythmic, or dramatic scenarios that have come to define modern internet subcultures.
