Unicorning is a lighthearted internet trend and photographic trope that involves placing a traffic cone on one's head to mimic the horn of a unicorn. While the act of wearing objects as hats has existed for decades, the specific Unicorning meme gained traction as a visual metaphor for someone trying to stand out or appear rare in a mundane environment. It is frequently used to mock those who consider themselves one-of-a-kind or to satirize the 'unicorn' status in startup culture. The meme captures the absurd joy of public silliness, evolving from simple prank photos into a versatile template for discussing rarity, forced individuality, and the hilarious reality of using everyday objects to feel special.
