Yes, you read that right. Abstract culture is sweeping the Meme coin arena once again. Following previous discussions such as “WAP, , , Is the Meme Coin PVP War Entering the Next Level?” and TikTok Meme coins like Chillguy and MOODENG, the “Italian Book of Mountains and Seas” has taken the cryptocurrency industry by storm with a series of abstract concept Meme coins from overseas social media platforms. Here we have sharks in sneakers, stick figures, and bomber crocodiles, mixed with nonsensical Italian accents and the “brainrot” brought about by short videos, resulting in 2025’s most abstract and brainwashing Meme. Odaily Planet Daily will summarize the relevant concepts in this article; the following content does not constitute investment advice and is for reference only.

Interpreting the Cultural Wave Behind “Italian Book of Mountains and Seas”: When Parody Becomes a Means of Dismantling Entertainment Overload
It is noteworthy that Budget Airlines, Ryanair, and the language learning app Duolingo have previously mimicked the Italian brainrot style to produce some meme content, injecting an irreverent atmosphere into the Italianrot trend from serious brands.
The initial relevant element was an AI-generated image of a giant shark wearing Nike shoes that emerged on TikTok in January 2025, accompanied by a piece of artificially synthesized audio, which is the reason such parody images and videos are often paired with robotic-sounding Italian narrators.
As AI continually erodes the boundaries of human existence and personal value, the “entertainment until death” and “traffic is king” short videos allow various meaningless symbols and images to spread worldwide at a viral pace. The various abstract animal figures in “Italian Book of Mountains and Seas” are not just materials for parody; they also serve as an unconventional means of dismantling serious culture.
Content that appears insane and absurd, devoid of meaning and even sounding somewhat abstract, provides countless young people from Generation Z and Generation Alpha with a brief mental refuge where they can be unrestrained and carefree, free from the scrutiny of others. Perhaps this is the vitality of abstract Memes and one of the reasons why countless abstract Meme coins will always have their loyal supporters.
