Wicked' musical adaptation storms into theaters, breaking box-office records and sparking tons of memes—along with theater etiquette debates.
The article from Rolling Stone discusses the phenomenon of the "Wicked" meme, which has taken over social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter. Originating from a 2007 interview with Idina Menzel, where she discusses her role as Elphaba in the Broadway musical "Wicked," the meme features a clip where Menzel says, "I'm not a good witch, I'm not a bad witch, I'm just a witch."

The meme has sparked widespread discourse, with users applying it to everything from personal identity crises to political commentary, highlighting the fluidity and complexity of modern identity. The article explores how this meme reflects broader cultural conversations about not fitting neatly into predefined categories, resonating with a generation that values individuality and complexity over binary labels.
