Hand pose with fingers...what does it mean?

I'm gonna sound like an old fogey, but I see young people in pictures posing and having their hands posed with two or more fingers out. I'm guessing they are trying to pose like a rap star, but is there anything else? Anyone who can give a good explanation to the meaning of different hand poses is appreciated...

It's not just rap stars, in Asia you can see them all take pictures with their fingers forming V like (only that they hold it in weird poses),
It used to mean Victory, I don't know why they still do it.
Looks really stupid to me.
