GT Shitposting is a subculture revolving around the content creation of Gran Turismo memes – usually those that refer to the infamous bugs of the second instalment of the series, or a combination of GT3's 'Mirage' by Daiki Kasho and a distorted image of a dandelion yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V taken from an early demo (GT2000).

Origin

YouTuber BK4 (channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP41sUZxCNSbIz4Jajoi6xg) uploaded a video of a rare GT2000 demo disc he had acquired on 28th July 2018 (video: https://youtu.be/IT2T_m1rHDg), showing off the demo's playable content. Towards the end, the start of the GT2 intro is shown and a bass-boosted early version of Daiki Kasho's 'Mirage' (the only song in-race in the demo) accompanied with a yellow Lancer Evo V distorted is added as some kind of jumpscare. The full, final version of the track was also bass-boosted and uploaded by BK4 on the same day https://youtu.be/ysmXQx78Rkg

Spread

Sometime in September 2019, BK4 continued uploading content showing GT2/3 frustrations or joyful moments accompanied with unrelated streamers being angry or to go with music in the games. This has since spread to other channels making similar content, which BK4 regularly updates a playlist containing videos of.
