The Best Moments From This Year’s Air Guitar Championships

This year’s Air Guitar World Championship was won by Canadian Zachary “Ichabod Fame” Knowles, who beat out former 2023 World Champion Nanami “Seven Seas” Nagura of Japan and 2022 winner Kirill “Guitarantula” Blumenkrants of France.

If all of what I just said meant nothing to you, let me explain. Every year, there’s an air guitar competition in Finland. People from all around the world gather to “play” air guitar, with their performances being judged by “originality, ability to be taken over by the music, stage presence, technical merit, artistic impression and airness,” per the Associated Press.

Congrats to Mr. Knowles — now, can someone please tell me what’s going on with Finland?
