There's this guy named Packgod who's the talk of TikTok at the moment, and it's not because people think he's cool.

Packgod is what's known as a "Discord Packer." He gets on a call and faces off in a freestyle, roasting battle with someone, all in the name of "humbling" them.

The "packing" subculture has gained major attraction in the 2020s so far, but the tides seem to be turning, evident in viral memes calling it corny.

So, who is Packgod anyway? What is "Discord Packing" and why do people think Packgod is cringe now? Let's explain.

What Is 'Discord Packing?'

"Discord Packing" is a style of rapid-fire roasting that occurs over voice calls within Discord "packing" servers. Two people enter a call as everyone else listens in, like the 8 Mile Rap Battle in a virtual Detroit.

The slang term "packing" is akin to "packing" someone with fast-paced, hyper-specific insults, so that the other person can't get a word in. Packers often use bad mics and sound effects to make their tone overly excited and angry.

The subculture came about in 2018, but gained viral attention in 2022. That was when packing clips were reposted to sites like TikTok and YouTube. Packers became famous and Packgod was one of them.

Who Is 'Packgod?'

Packgod is the username of a Discord Packer who amassed a viral following in 2022. His following ballooned when he was invited on the Twitch streams of famous streamers to humble them in front of their audiences.

Notable examples include Sneako and EDP445, who both fell out of public favor when Packgod dissed them on their own servers. Packgod used their controversies to leverage his own viral machine.

Why Do Some People Think 'Packgod' Is Cringe?

The Packgod hate started to accumulate last year, when people would ironically post memes about "Transforming into Packgod." The memes added "liking Packgod" to a list of characteristics of cringe, "sigma" "phonk" music enjoyers.

Since then, the jokes have evolved, caked in many layers of irony. Now people are posting memes about calling Packgod up when they need someone to get humbled.

Alternatively, the meme creator is the person who's the one about to get humbled, and they're so scared (but not really).
