The term 'Wig' is a prominent piece of internet slang, primarily used within the LGBTQ+ community and music 'stan' circles to describe something so impressive or shocking that it causes one’s hairpiece to fly off. While the concept of 'snatching wigs' has deep roots in Black culture and drag communities, the specific shorthand 'Wig' went viral globally in 2018 after Katy Perry used it during an episode of American Idol. Since then, the meme has evolved into a versatile reaction tool, used to celebrate pop star achievements, incredible plot twists, or any event that is 'mind-blowing.' It is often accompanied by images of people looking stunned or literal flying hairpieces, symbolizing the ultimate expression of being impressed or overwhelmed.
