The gesture comes from ballroom culture. It is an underground scene established by the LGBTQ community in New York, according to Van Vogue Jam. Queer black and Latin queer and transpeople gathered for "balls" where groups compete in various categories similar to a pageant. The gesture Siya Kolidi used to reinforce what someone said is the truth or to applaud something impressive.

When the middle finger and thumb are used to do the finger clap, it means that something is impressive. Using the pointer finger with the thumb means that someone just told the truth or called out something accurately. It is usually used with the words "clock it", which is an affirmation of something true that's been said. After its viral use on social media, the difference between the gestures became interchangeable for most people.
