About

Neckbeard Nero refers to sculptures of Roman Emperor Nero who reigned from 37-68 AD.[2] The sculptures' neckbeards became notable subjects of online commentary.

Origin

Neckbeard is a pejorative term referring to unattractive, overweight and misogynistic Internet users who wear a style of facial hair in which a majority of the growth is present on the chin and neck. Neckbeards are commonly associated with hipster stereotypes and Internet addicts who frequent websites like 4chan and Reddit. On January 18th, 2015, Redditor the_rabbit_of_power posted a photo of a bust of Nero to /r/justneckbeardthings[5] with the caption "I present Emperor Nero, rocking a neckbeard, ahead of his time" (shown below). The post gained 102 points (88% upvoted) in four years.
