Jejemon with scene hair
Jejemon is a subculture originating from the Philippines, characterized by altered spelling and grammar, typically observed in text messages and social media, often combined with funky fashion and hairstyles, inspired by scene kids and gangster culture. According to Urban Dictionary a Jejemon is a person "who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility." The Philippine Daily Inquirer describes Jejemons as a "new breed of hipster who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own subculture and fashion."
Etymology[]
The word Jejemon supposedly originated from online users' penchant to type in "hehehe" as "jejeje", either because "jeje" is derived from Spanish usage of "j", whose speakers denote the interjection as laughter, or because the letters "h" and "j" are beside each other, and that it is appended by "-mon" that came from the Japanese anime Pokémon, with "-mon" meant as "monster," hence "jeje monsters."
Fashion[]
Similar to 2010s swag and Crunkcore, a blend of both the fake Filipino gangster and scene elements, stylish caps, paisley patterns, jerseys, flannels, big glasses, and the sidebang emo hairstyle.
Some looking closer to Gangsters and some looking closer to Emos.
Lingo[]
The sociolect of the Jejemons is called Jejenese, which is derived from Taglish might be mixed with Bisaya too depending on the region, Leetspeak, Camelcase, & over-usage of the letters H, X or Z. Superfluous as well as the presence of silent letters characterize its spelling convention. It has its own, albeit unofficial, orthography, known as Jejebet. Their Lingo is also similar to Swardspeak/Bekimon.
