Amogus Drip
Also known as: Among Us Drip · Among Drip
Amogus Drip is a meme from early 2021 that features Among Us crewmate characters edited to wear high-end streetwear and designer outfits, typically paired with a hard-hitting trap beat. The joke plays on the absurdity of the simple, bean-shaped game characters looking impossibly stylish, mashing up the Among Us meme craze with internet "drip" culture.
Overview
The meme takes the minimalist crewmate design from Innersloth's *Among Us* and gives the characters exaggerated streetwear fits: Supreme hoodies, Nike dunks, gold chains, and oversized jackets. The edited characters stand in confident poses, looking far too cool for their stubby proportions. Videos pair these images with a specific bass-heavy trap instrumental, creating short clips where the dripped-out crewmate walks toward the camera or strikes a pose.
The humor comes from the contrast between the characters' simple, cartoonish design and the over-the-top swagger of their outfits. Urban Dictionary defines Amogus Drip as "the highest level of drip available," noting that having it means "your drip level matches the drip level of the Among Drip characters"1.
Amogus Drip emerged in late 2020 to early 2021, during the peak of Among Us meme culture. After *Among Us* exploded in popularity during mid-2020, the internet had already been producing countless crewmate edits and shitposts. The "Amogus" spelling itself was a deliberate misspelling used in ironic meme circles. Someone in the community created the first edit of a crewmate character wearing streetwear, and the concept spread rapidly across YouTube and Twitter.
The specific trap beat most associated with the meme helped standardize the format. Creators would post short videos of the dripped-out crewmate with the beat dropping as the character appeared on screen.

Cultural Impact
Amogus Drip sits at the intersection of two major 2020-2021 internet trends: the Among Us craze and drip/fashion meme culture. It became one of the go-to references for ironic Gen Z humor and was frequently cited in discussions about "brain rot" content. The meme also fed into the broader "Amogus" ecosystem, where everything from everyday objects to historical paintings got the crewmate treatment.
Fun Facts
The word "Amogus" itself is a deliberately mangled version of "Among Us," originating from ironic meme communities that found humor in distorting the game's name.
The specific trap beat used in most Amogus Drip videos became so associated with the meme that hearing it alone triggers the mental image of a dripped-out crewmate.
One Urban Dictionary entry simply defines the meme as "ismoogus," suggesting the concept had transcended any need for explanation1.
