About
Rainbow Dolphin, also known as Hopecore Dolphin or Symphony Dolphin, refers to a series of image macro and reaction images using illustrations of dolphins jumping out of water paired with demotivational quotes and honest confessions, similar to the How I See the World After X phrasal template. The dolphin images and memes are often accompanied by the chorus from Zara Larsson's song "Symphony" in which she sings, "I just wanna be part of your symphony," which was popularized on TikTok in late August 2024. Many have also noted the images of the dolphins resemble Lisa Frank artwork.
Origin
On August 18th, 2024, TikTok[1] user @heiratet posted one of the earliest versions of the Symphony Dolphin meme, which features a picture of a dolphin jumping out of the water with the text overlay "I'm depressed" and Zara Larssons' song "Symphony" playing in the background. The post (seen below) amassed over 889,000 plays and 210,000 likes in three days.
