Token information Interpreting the cultural craze behind 'Italian Shanhaijing': when parody becomes a means of alleviating death by entertainment. Notably, Budget Airlines, Ryanair, and language learning app Duolingo have previously produced some meme content mimicking the Italian brainrot style, injecting an unserious atmosphere into the Italianrot trend from some serious brands. The initial related element was an AI-generated image of a giant great white shark wearing Nike shoes that appeared on TikTok in January 2025, which also included a segment of artificially synthesized audio—this is why such parody images and videos are usually accompanied by Italian narrators with robotic tones. As AI continuously erodes the boundaries of human existence and personal value assessment, the death by entertainment and traffic-is-king short videos allow various meaningless symbols and images to spread worldwide at a viral pace. The various abstract animal images in 'Italian Shanhaijing' not only serve as parody material but also become an unconventional means of dissolving serious culture. Content that looks and sounds like it's from a lunatic, meaningless, or even somewhat abstract provides a brief mental refuge for countless young people from Generation Z and Generation Alpha, where they can be unrestrained, free, and not worry about others' opinions. Perhaps this is where the vitality of abstract Meme lies, and one of the reasons why countless abstract Meme coins always have their loyal supporters.
