The WallStreetBets GameStop Short Squeeze meme commemorates the historic January 2021 financial event where retail investors from the r/wallstreetbets subreddit coordinated to drive up GME stock prices, causing massive losses for institutional hedge funds. Central to the meme's culture are terms like 'Diamond Hands' (refusing to sell despite volatility), 'Apes' (the community's self-identifier), and 'To the Moon' (the anticipation of skyrocketing stock prices). Usually featuring the iconic blonde 'WSB Kid' in sunglasses, these memes symbolize a David vs. Goliath battle between the internet's collective power and the traditional financial establishment, forever changing how the world views retail trading.
