JuggTok / SlimeTok

JuggTok and SlimeTok refers to a genre of Hood Irony video memes on TikTok and Instagram Reels characterized by intentionally bastardized AAVE slang, walls of text with Slang Overload and background videos that allude and oftentimes subvert Blackness, including Druski Dancing and JamWayne rapping. Emojis like the "broken heart" emoji (💔), also known as the heartbreak emoji, and the "wilted flower" emoji (🥀), are common signifiers of JuggTok, meant to mock performative emo culture, specifically aimed at underground rap fanbases of artists like XXXTentacion, among others. The "green heart" emoji (💚) is commonly used for SlimeTok. "JuggTok" is a portmanteau of the AAVE term "jugg" — roughly meaning "rob" — and "TikTok." "SlimeTok" is a similar portmanteau derived from the AAVE term "slime" — meaning a friend — and "TikTok." The JuggTok and SlimeTok aesthetic sprouted from Chopped Chin memes and the the intentional misuse of ICL TS PMO in early 2025. By February 2025, so-called "JuggTokers" created SlimeTok after JuggTok allegedly became "mainstream." The idea that JuggTok and the 💔 emoji had become mainstream led to the ironic creation of SlimeTok. Thereafter, memes powerscaling JuggTok and SlimeTok surfaced en masse.
