It began with a single, fateful incident. A well-meaning but clumsy employee, known only as "The Hand of Chaos," knocked over a cup of coffee, spilling its contents across the conference room table.
A nearby coworker, caught off guard, instinctively raised their hands in a futile attempt to shield their eyes from the spill, only to realize their hands had inadvertently formed the unmistakable "jazz hands" pose.
Thus began the Accidental Jazz Hands Movement, a counterculture phenomenon that sought to reclaim the power of this awkward, yet liberating gesture.
The movement gained momentum, spreading across the corporate world, with its adherents donning "jazz hands" in solidarity, and even incorporating the gesture into their daily routines: during meetings, while working, and, most notably, during presentations.
Some argue that the movement's true power lies not in its aesthetics, but in its ability to subtly convey a sense of existential dread and apathy.
A subpage on the movement's core principles is just a click away: The Jazz Hands Manifesto.
