The 'Trumpet Guy' meme, also known as 'Trumpet Boy,' features a 2018 photograph of a boy aggressively playing a trumpet into the ear of a girl who is visibly distressed and covering her ears. The image first gained traction on Twitter and quickly became a universal symbol for unwanted advice, loud enthusiasts, or overbearing opinions that won't be ignored. It perfectly illustrates the dynamic between someone passionately pushing a message and someone desperately trying to avoid it. Since its viral explosion, the template has been used across social media to satirize everything from aggressive marketing and political discourse to niche fandoms and intrusive thoughts.
