Find out the meaning of Just a Chill Guy viral memes which has taken over the social media platforms and know which song is used in the meme
Recently, social media platforms, especially TikTok, X/Twitter, and Instagram are buzzing with a viral meme known as “Just a Chill Guy,” also known as “My New Character.”
Unlike many popular memes rooted in movies, songs, or commercials, Just a Chill Guy appears to be entirely original.
What is the name of song used in the ‘My New Character Just a Chill Guy’ viral meme and its origin
The viral meme that features an anthropomorphic dog sporting a gray sweater, blue jeans, and red sneakers with the song Hinoki Wood by Gia Margaret playing in the backdrop of the meme.
With a smug expression, hands in pockets, and a relaxed demeanor, the character evokes comparisons to Brian Griffin from the Family Guy. Reportedly, it originated from a social media post on X/Twitter, last year.
The meme came into the limelight when a Twitter user who goes by the name @PhillipBankss, shared a post captioned, “My new character. His whole deal is he’s a chill guy that lowkey doesn’t give a f*ck.”
Since then the post has garnered modest attention, amassing over 17,000 likes. It further gained traction over other social media platforms such as Instagram, Reddit, and Facebook, where short clips featuring the character went viral.
However, Just a Chill Guy meme gained widespread attention in September on TikTok. The character started appearing in dynamic contexts, taking on a life of its own.
The resemblance to Brian Griffin was amplified by an AI-generated video from another user, who goes by the name @abnormalpenguin2, in which the character declares, “I know I’m supposed to be a chill guy and lowkey not really care about anything, but I’m tired of trying to be someone that I’m not.”
This video amassed more than 1.5 million views within just four days. By November, the meme had evolved into its current form, where the character appears in increasingly absurd scenarios, each captioned with the phrase “I’m just a chill guy.”
This juxtaposition creates a satirical edge that resonates widely online. Interestingly, the meme also inspired the creation of a cryptocurrency.
