What is Chad? Chad Meaning Explained
A confident, attractive, often jock-like guy — sometimes used seriously, other times satirically
Chad started as meme mockery and evolved into an unironic badge of “top-tier male energy.” Opposite of an incel. May or may not own Pit Vipers 😎
“Chad” was originally a roast term from 4chan to mock stereotypical jock guys — tall, confident, and hot. But Gen Z flipped it into a mixed-use label: sometimes serious, sometimes ironic. Now it’s used as both a meme and compliment. Being a “Chad” = winning at life.
