“You mirin, brah?!”
Aziz “Zyzz” Shavershian was a 22-year-old bodybuilder, stripper, and model based in Sydney. He became an internet sensation around 2008 with a slew of motivational videos that tracked his evolution from a skinny “sad cunt” to a god. He wanted to inspire other young rejects or outcasts to stop being “sad cunts”. Zyzz’s disciples—dubbed the Aesthetics Crew—followed his ideology of shredding at the gym to emulate “the Gods” and transform “jelly” (jealous) followers into “mirin’ (admiring) sick cunts.”
