Yes, you're not mistaken, abstract culture is once again sweeping through the MEME coin track.
Following the previous 'WAP, 🐬, 🧲, MEME Coin PVP Battle Enters Next Level?' and Tiktok MEME coins like Chillguy and MOODENG, the "Italian Mountain and Sea Classic" has gone viral from overseas social media platforms to the cryptocurrency industry with a series of abstract concept MEME coins. There's a shark wearing sneakers, a wooden stick man, a battle machine crocodile, mixed with meaningless Italian accents, accompanied by the "brainrot" brought by short videos, becoming the most abstract and most brainwashing MEME of 2025. Odaily will inventory the related concepts in this article, and the following content does not constitute investment advice, for reference only.

Interpreting the Cultural Trend Behind "Italian Mountain and Sea Classic": When Mocking Becomes a Means to Dissolve "Entertainment to Death"
It's worth mentioning that Budget Airlines, Ryanair, and the language learning app Duolingo had previously created meme content mimicking the Italian brainrot style, injecting a non-serious atmosphere into this trend.
The original related element was an AI-generated image of a giant white shark wearing Nike shoes, which appeared on TikTok in January 2025, accompanied by an artificially synthesized audio. This explains why such mocking images and videos typically feature an Italian commentator with a robot-like tone.
As AI constantly erodes the boundaries of human existence and personal value, and short videos driven by "entertainment to death" and traffic spread meaningless symbols and images like a virus, the abstract animal images in the "Italian Mountain and Sea Classic" are not just meme materials, but also an unconventional means to dissolve serious culture.
Content that seems neurotic or psychotic, with meaningless and somewhat abstract sounds, provides a temporary mental refuge for countless Gen Z and Alpha generation youth, where they are uninhibited and free, without considering others' opinions. Perhaps this is the vitality of abstract memes and one reason why numerous abstract meme coins always have their loyal followers.
