Know Your Meme describes the metrics for babygirl as loose. What defines a man as being a babygirl? Well, it’s hard to say. The term, often used to describe adult men, was first used in its current iteration as early as 2017 but took off on social media earlier in the year and was used to describe men like Jeremy Strong’s “Succession” character Kendall Roy and the 200-year-old vampire Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3. In 2023, the internet stopped having boyfriends and started having babygirls. Babygirl Pedro Pascal and Jeremy Strong (who plays Kendall Roy on “Succession”) are some of the many “babygirls” of the internet. James acknowledged the meme, using the image in an Instagram post to promote his comedy tour. For example, if the song is a 2000s emo bop, James will have winged eyeliner and swoopy black bangs edited onto him. James’ sheepish expression paired with the shrug made it the perfect reaction for myriad memes - particularly one on TikTok in which a group of partygoers asks, “Who put this song on?” - typically a song that doesn’t fit the party atmosphere plays before shifting to the image of James, which has typically been edited to match the song’s aesthetic. A promotional photo of actor Kevin James from the sitcom “King of Queens,” which ran from 1998 to 2007, found new life online after X user used the image with the text, “me after 1 double rum and diet,” according to the meme database Know Your Meme. The meme is sometimes misquoted as “Baby Gronk rizzed up Livvy Dunne,” but it’s probably not shocking that some people have trouble keeping the name and slang of this meme straight. After a video of San Miguel and Dunne was uploaded to YouTube, Henry De Tolla, known as H00pify on TikTok, uploaded a video reacting to the meeting, in which he said the now-iconic meme: “Livvy just convinced Baby Gronk to commit to LSU … Livvy rizzed him up.” Rizz, which Oxford University Press named its word of the year, is slang for charming another person. It was a series of words that left many on the internet asking: “… Huh?” Madden San Miguel, an 11-year-old football protege known online as “Baby Gronk” (a play on the name of retired NFL star Rob Gronkowski), earlier this year visited Louisiana State University, where he met LSU gymnast and social media star Livvy Dunne. The phrase has become synonymous online with topics that people think of on an unusually regular basis, including certain movies, life-altering memories and existential thoughts. (The NBC Culture & Trends team’s Roman Empire is the Roman Empire meme.) ‘ Baby Gronk rizzed up Livvy Dunne’ Justine Good / Instagram Many cited the period’s impact on modern society as the reason why. Many TikTok users subsequently admitted to having “Roman Empires” of their own. How often do men think about the Roman Empire? Apparently, a lot. In September, women on TikTok began asking their male partners if they regularly think about the subject - and to their surprise, several men said they thought about it weekly or daily. Those who did turned up for both in themed attire, wearing pink, black or both. The movies ended up having a fake, fun rivalry, with the pink energy of “Barbie” contrasting sharply with the dark and somber overtones of “Oppenheimer.” As their box office weekend neared, many began discussing seeing the movies as a double feature. The term’s first-ever use in April 2022 poked fun at how both movies appeared to be announcing new cast members every other day. “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” - two very different films - became known as the cultural phenomenon “Barbenheimer” because of their simultaneous release in July, thanks in large part to the online buzz generated by a meme.
