Slim Jesus, an Ohio-born rapper named Robert Johnston, became an overnight internet sensation in 2015 following the release of his music video 'Drill Time.' The meme stems from the jarring juxtaposition between his slender, unassuming appearance and the aggressive, 'trap' lifestyle lyrics associated with Chicago's drill music scene. While critics debated his authenticity, the internet embraced him as a symbol of 'faking it until you make it' or the stereotypical suburban kid trying to act tough. Today, the template is widely used to mock people who adopt exaggerated personas or to highlight humorous contrasts between a person's appearance and their environment.
