The 'Shrimp Gang' meme represents a niche but viral subculture of surrealist internet humor, often featuring low-resolution or stylized images of shrimps depicted as a formidable group. It gained traction across platforms like TikTok and Twitter, where users ironically pledge their allegiance to the 'gang' as a form of absurdist social identity. The meme often plays on the contrast between the small, unassuming nature of shrimp and the aggressive 'gang' persona, making it a favorite for those who enjoy weirdcore or ironic shitposting. It is commonly used to signal being part of an inside joke or to simply confuse outsiders with crustacean-based camaraderie.
