The 'Cels Be Seething Over Chads' meme is a derivative of the broader Chad vs. Virgin and Wojak meme universes, originating in imageboard cultures like 4chan. The meme highlights the perceived resentment or 'seething' of marginalized online subgroups towards the idealized 'Chad' archetype—characterized by confidence, physical attractiveness, and social success. It is typically used to mock individuals who are perceived as being overly upset about others' successes or to satirize the obsessive nature of online identity politics and social hierarchies. Over time, it has evolved into a versatile template for any scenario where one party is visibly frustrated while the other remains completely unbothered, often accompanied by slang terms like 'cope' and 'rent-free'.
