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.
“Bro that group chat fell off, everybody’s just being a
dickhead on there, we should create a new
one”
“Yeah bro, that’s
literally Group Chat Theory”
“Jesse what the fuck are you talking about.”
