Each time a prominent public figure dies,English xxx movie you might see more crab emoji 🦀 on Twitter, Reddit, and the comment section of Instagram posts. It's a not-so-subtle nod in celebration of the passing of the reign, influence, or life of a particularly controversial character.
There's been a bit of a resurgence of the crab emoji lately in response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, particularly in Reddit subs like r/COMPLETEANARCHYand r/CuratedTumblr. All of these crab emoji are in reference to the "Crab Rave," a house song from Noisestorm that was released by Monstercat in 2018 as part of an April Fools' campaign. The music video — which has received more than 200 million views on YouTube — shows a bunch of crabs raving on an island.

Because the video was practically created in a lab for memeification, it swiftly turned into a joke online. First, according to Know Your Meme, YouTuber apandah posted a video to Twitter titled "Obama is Gone" with the song playing in the background and the crabs raving in response to then-President Barack Obama leaving office.
Since then, the meme has been simplified and morphed into just the crab emoji 🦀. Sometimes the emoji is posted just as a general hype moment but, more often than not, it's posted to say "good riddance." Some people are adding it to their social media names and bios, too.
Comedian Jaboukie Young-White posted the crab rave dance when Rush Limbaugh died. Some people posted the crab emoji when then-President Donald Trump got kicked off of social media platforms.

This isn't the first time we've used emoji as another form of linguistic expression online.
Snake emoji 🐍 was used in the aftermath of the Taylor Swift / Kim Kardashian / Kanye West drama to call various people involved snakes. And Beyoncé fans spam people with the bee emoji 🐝when anyone attacks Queen B. While those aren't particularly positiveexamples, it's fairly common for national symbols like flowers, animals, and flags to become a signal of solidarity and strength online during difficult times for nations.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, folks used sunflower emoji 🌻 to show solidarity with Ukraine, the country's national flower.
This is all to say that if you're feeling crabby, maybe think twice before adding the emoji 🦀 to your tweet.
