What is Glitch Text?

Glitch text, also known as Zalgo text, is a distorted form of normal text that appears to be malfunctioning or glitched. It incorporates scratch-like elements, blurs, color manipulations, and shape distortions to challenge traditional design norms. It is created by adding multiple diacritical marks to standard characters using Unicode, resulting in a visually chaotic effect. This type of text is popular in memes, digital art, and social media for its unique aesthetic that evokes a sense of creepiness or digital error.

In fact, glitch text is related to the broader "glitch art" movement. Glitch art incorporates errors, glitches, and digital artifacts as aesthetic elements. Glitch text, specifically, applies the principles of glitch art to textual representation. It focuses on visually distorting letterforms to mimic the appearance of digital glitches.

Compared to Zalgo, Glitch Text is much more diverse. There are a variety of styles, from subtle distortions to more extreme and abstract effects.

While Zalgo text is specifically tied to the meme and its horror connotations, glitch text is a broader category, encompassing any distorted text for aesthetic purposes. All Zalgo text is glitch text, but not all glitch text is Zalgo.

What is Zalgo Text?

The narrative starts with Zalgo, a fictional entity conceived by Dave Kelly, also known as "Shmorky," on the Something Awful forums around 2004. Initially, Zalgo was central to a meme featuring altered comic strips, where characters were warped with the term "Zalgo," satirizing Lovecraftian horror motifs. This character was portrayed as a malevolent presence, often referred to as "He Who Waits Behind the Wall" or the "Nezperdian Hivemind," embodying chaos and corruption.

The associated text style, Zalgo text, emerged as a visual representation of this corruption, using Unicode combining characters to add diacritics above, below, or through letters, creating a glitchy, distorted look. This text became popular in creepypasta stories and surreal memes, often used to evoke a sense of horror or absurdity
