“Well, it’s like, the default Internet feeling,” Shane Ferro, an editor at Reuters, told me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is fundamentally connected to the experience of being online, in part because it cannot be spoken, only acted or typed.
In 2013, it appeared in a Reddit post that commanded users “ lol idk just upvote.” “Lol idk” seems like a fairly apt description of the shruggie’s meaning, but it also doesn’t begin to describe the nihilism that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ embodies today. Daily Dot writer Miles Klee caught the Spider-Man super villain Mysterio doing it.
Han Solo makes the gesture in Star Wars, as Reddit noticed in 2012. For a time, post-Kanye, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ continued to represent a kind of self-aware victory over the world: It was appropriated as the victory trademark of SeleCT, a competition-level Starcraft II player from Team Dignitas, after which it became known as “sup son,” and by late 2011, it was parodied on YouTube by Starcraft competition announcers and plastered on signs held up by fans.Īfter seeing the light of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, it’s hard to not notice it everywhere. (The (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ table flip is a favorite.) It went viral in English when, after Kanye West shot down Taylor Swift in favor of Beyonce during his infamous 2010 Video Music Awards interruption, he gave a little shrug with his hands outstretched in a slight acknowledgement of his own ridiculousness the rap crew Travis Porter immediately tweeted, “ Kanye shrug - -> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” as a crude representation of the gesture. It’s similar to an emoji or emoticon, but it incorporates characters from the katakana alphabet, instead of underscores and carets, for a wider range of expression. The shruggie or “ smugshrug,” as it is sometimes called, is what’s known as a “ kaomoji,” or “face mark” in Japanese. That it wouldn’t accept the lopsided, grinning face with upturned palms is almost strange: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is, and was, part of the language of the internet, and it has been popping up more than ever in tweets, work emails, and gchats from friends.
