Hand poses/gesture, what's the meaning?

So I've seen some pictures of my friends with their hands like this.. Like weird hand poses and such. It's kinda popular I think. Does this hand gestures have meaning or just use to be 'cool'? http://imgur.com/j9uGpoS

    Gestures are a form of nonverbal communication in which visible bodily actions are used to communicate important messages, either in place of speech or together and in parallel with spoken words.
