About

It's Peam refers to a series of edits of GIFs, deriving from a gif of US Representive Jim Clyburn shaking his head, originally captioned "It's Mid…".

Origin

On February 4th 2020, Representative Clyburn was captured shaking his head in response to President Donald Trump stating that "The State of our Union is stronger than ever before" during the 2020 State of the Union[1]. The same day, a tweet[2] sharing the video of Representative Clyburn went viral, receiving over 30,000 likes and 5000 reposts.

On January 5th 2021, Tenor user noobcycle uploaded[3] a GIF of Representative Clyburn captioned "It's Mid…". This was then recaptioned[4] to "It's Peak" by Tenor user meatzzaa on July 6th 2022.

On April 6th 2024, Discord user Blit misspelled Peak as Peam, with the word quickly becoming an inside joke in their Discord group chat. Discord user Plats then added the caption "It's Peam" to the GIF of Representative Clyburn, parodying the "It's Peak" GIF, and posted it in the group chat (shown below, right). Shortly after, Plats uploaded[5] the GIF to tenor.

Spread

In early 2024, edits of the "It's Mid" and "It's Peak" GIFs started being posted on Tenor.

The "It's Peam" caption did not see viral spread until April 29th 2024 when Twitter user @poisonjr shared[6] the GIF in response to a tweet saying "i love those tenor gifs where its obviously some random friend groups inside joke". The tweet received over 2000 reposts and 31,000 likes in 5 months. In the following months, the GIF of Representative Clyburn became a popular source for edits with similar captions such as "it's dream" and "it's squeak", and the phrase "It's Peam" became a popular replacement for "It's Peak".
