Group Chat Theory is the unofficial theory that all big non-work group chats follow a set structure:
1. A group chat is created that’s just you and your close friends for actual discussion and funny conversations, and all is well and good
2. Your friend eventually insists on adding their friends that you either don’t know or don’t like, but they’re eventually added in, even if you do try to prevent it
3. Those friends either immediately cause chaos, or will just start adding THEIR friends too. Now the group chat is full of randos that are 99% of the time unfunny rude dickheads.
4. Those randos then quickly devolve the chat into the following:
- Bulling someone
- Arguing about beef between each other you either don’t know or don’t care about
- Fill the chat with shitposts instead of actual discussion
- Spam unfunny and
illegal shit like gore, porn, drug dealing or more cause they think it’s cool. This then leads to a “
Group Chat got leaked…” situation, where the group chat gets leaked to the police or the public, and said unfunny, criminal randos either run away and escape, inevitably to cause another Group Chat Theory in the future, or get caught by authorities and arrested.
5. All of this continues until the group chat meets its
metaphorical breaking point, and is either abandoned (otherwise known as a “Dead chat”) or deleted by the owners/taken down by the police.
