"Just Vote, Just Vote" Nina Girl

About

"Just Vote, Just Vote" Nina Girl, also known as "Just Vote, Just Vote" Fish Girl, refers to a viral clip from a YouTube video by The Cut called "7 High Schoolers Decide Who Wins $1000" in which one of the contestants, named Jordyn, frustratingly says, "Just vote, just vote, just vote. I know I'm gonna be out so just vote." Jordyn was nicknamed the "Nina Girl" by viewers for a different moment in which she loudly repeated the name, "Nina, Nina, Nina." Others called her the "Fish Girl" because she said she wanted to be a marine biologist. The Just Vote, Just Vote clip went viral on TikTok in mid-2024, spawning a TikTok sound that was used by many on the app in a trend. Memes using the Just Vote sound mirrored Jordyn's fed-up and sassy delivery to joke about scenarios in which a final vote or decision must be made.
