ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sign of the Horns

The sign of the horns is when you put up your index and pinky finger and keep the other three fingers down. It looks like a little animal with horns! People do this as a way of showing excitement, especially at concerts or when listening to loud music. It's like saying, "Rock on!" or "I'm so pumped!". Some people believe it represents an ancient hand gesture to ward off evil spirits or bad luck, but most people who use it now just think it looks cool and shows their love for music.
