[edit]Although Parkour Civilization had its first episode debut in October 2023, it didn't gain widespread internet popularity until late September 2024. This sudden popularity occurred after a user on Twitter posted a clip from the show's opening with the caption "Here in Parkour Civilization, NO ONE chooses to jump for the beef..." The tweet garnered over 14.4 million views and caused a swarm of tweets and memes praising the series and its storytelling.[3][1]
