The 'He's Gay, But He Has A Special Connection To Classical Music' meme originates from a video clip of legendary actor Willem Dafoe describing a character's eccentricities. The quote went viral due to Dafoe's deadpan, earnest delivery of a seemingly oddly specific and non-sequitur description. Online, the meme is used as a shorthand to describe characters, celebrities, or friends who possess a very particular, sophisticated, or 'niche' vibe. It highlights the humor in defining someone through a combination of their identity and a highly specific, high-brow interest, making it a favorite for Twitter commentary and character aesthetic posts.
