About
Alien-posting, also known as Alienposting, Green Alien-posting or Green Alien Animals, refers to edited and Photoshopped images of animals and meme characters made to look like green aliens with antennas who speak an incoherent language. The trend started in late 2022 when the alien dog Geeble was created, being an edited version of the Handheld Pupper photo. Then, Gnarp Gnarp surfaced: a green alien cat. Both images led to more animal photos being crudely-edited, trending on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and iFunny in early 2023. Many of the green alien animals were paired with captions and text that read like an alien language, including many "eep" and "orp" sounds like "zeep" and "glorp," made to be nonsensical, using chaotic characters and foreign letters. The trend also led to the rise in Pirate-posting and pirate memes.

Related Memes
Pirate-posting
Pirate-posting, also known as Pirateposting or Pirate Posting, refers to a genre of memes that add pirate words and phrases to pre-existing, exploitable meme templates, recaptioning the text with pirate slang such as "landlubber," "seas," "ahoy," "scurvy," "scallywag," "plunder" "booty" and "matey," among others. The memes also inserted pirate imagery like hats, skulls and eyepatches. Memes similar to pirate-posting were posted online as early as 2020, however, the trend became more notable on Instagram in 2022, and a year later, went even more viral on Twitter in early 2023, predominantly due to the gimmick account on Twitter @pirate_posting.

Venus Slime Fields
Venus Slime Fields refers to a series of parody memes imagining the struggles of working at slime fields on Venus. The memes parody social media posts by right wing influencers which glamorize and praise blue collar work, especially the frequently shared Muddy Workers Operating Machinery video. The meme is closely related to the Zeep Glorp trend, from which it borrows "alien" lingo.
Slime field workers of Venus, they only get paid 67 credits a solar cycle.
