It has only been a week since 2025 began and we already have the year's first meme. These things don't waste any time. So, without wasting any time presenting the 'Chopped Chin' meme. Yes, even the names are getting weirder every day.
Imagine you get a phone call from your cousin inviting you to an NBA game. You put on your best clothes excitedly, get in the car with her, and sit courtside to enjoy the game. You enjoyed the game and even danced with your cousin, making a core memory.
You come home and sleep with a big smile on your face. Suddenly, a year later, you wake up one day to find out you have become the 'Chopped Chin' meme. No, it's not an Oscar-winning script; it's what happened to Angel Jr. Wiley.
What is the 'Chopped Chin' meme?
Angel Wiley is the Chopped Chin dude from the 'Chopped Chin' meme. It all began in August 2023 when the Atlanta Dream, a WNBA team, posted a video on their Instagram page of former WNBA player Renee Montgomery enjoying the game by dancing alongside her younger cousin Angel Wiley. The video went viral, but the best was yet to come.
In December 2024, an Instagram user @halal_man_2 decided to make meme history. He reposted the video but tweaked it a little. He added an on-screen caption and a background score, "Bring Me Back (Enox Mantano Remix)" by Miles Away.
The account kept making more videos as they got more and more popular internet. The best part is that the video and the caption don't match. As the videos gained traction, people started referring to Wiley as Chopped Chin. Of all the nicknames Wiley thought he would get in his life, this one must have not even been on the top 500.
Now you might think that Chopped Chin is a Gen Z slang for a chiseled jaw or a perfect jawline. No. Get ready to get your bubble burst because it's the exact opposite. Chopped means 'ugly.' Wiley has a sharp jaw, so the best guess is that's why he got the title.
