The Symphony meme, often called the Dolphin Meme, exploded on TikTok in 2024. It features a specific visual aesthetic involving majestic dolphins leaping out of the water against bright rainbows and sparkles, set to the song Symphony by Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson. The humor comes from the ironic contrast between the uplifting, preppy imagery and the often depressing or unhinged text overlays. This trend parodies early 2000s web aesthetics and hopecore while delivering surrealist humor to a global audience.
