During the 2015 Super Bowl halftime show, Katy Perry performed alongside a variety of colorful dancers, including a pair of sharks. One of the sharks, known as the 'Left Shark,' became an unexpected star due to its offbeat dance moves and lack of synchronization with the right shark, quickly resonating with audiences online. This quirky representation of the Left Shark became an internet sensation, turning it into a symbol of being unbothered or quirky in the face of perceived pressure to conform.
