What does the “The Sigma of Bahia” meme mean?

Where does the “The Sigma of Bahia” meme come from?
The format began in the United States with AI-redubbed animated movies that replaced original dialogue with “brain rot” humor, as in “Sigma Megamind”, based on the film Megamind. Brazilian creators picked up the idea with local slang, and a Kung Fu Panda redub, in which Po strives to become the “sigma da Bahia” through “mewing” exercises, became the most popular version, racking up millions of views. Starting in March 2024, the concept spread across TikTok and spawned regional spin-offs, like Megamind as the “sigma do Ceará” and Shrek as the “sigma do Acre”.
- 2024AI redub videos in the “sigma da Bahia” style spread on TikTok starting in March, after the format originated in the United States.
