Been a long time since Ive been in this site, but got some idea and it seems like meme related.
You know gimmick account are just your normal "meme account", but lately these account have become "a community" and become a meme.
Do you guys think this is to broad?
"Poorly aged stuff" probably the more popular one

I feel it should have an entry.
There's accounts that make some breaks but a lot of times are "questionable".
There's even a gimmick account dedicated to it.
Also get a great amount of followers in a short amount of time.
I think "Novelty Twitter Accounts" would be the best article name
Novelty Twitter Account pretty descriptive tho the twitter spehere called it gimmick account. I think I know some origin for some account like "the poorly ages" one and "out of context western r34". Tho other are pretty obscure.
im gonna list the best known account as a memo:

Lastly the meta one
https://twitter.com/GimmickAccsOOC This one need its own section since they documented other gimmick account that breaking character ranging from said account sharing personal information (like hobby and stuff) or politic. Everytime an a gimmick account "breaking character" ranging from "speaking" to retweeting a charity link, there always that one dude who @ this account in the replied.
