About

My Chud Son, also known as Chud Son or My Chud Son That I Hate, refers to a series of memes about the meme creator's imagined son who's a Chud, making him annoying and despicable. Memes about My Chud Son originally surfaced on Twitter / X in 2023, continuing into 2024 as the catchphrases spread across social media platforms. My Chud Son builds on previous memes about "sons" like Large Adult Sons from original Weird Twitter users like Dril.

Origin

The earliest discovered usage of the term "chud son" was a quote tweet shared by X^[1] user @FoldableHuman on September 13th, 2018, reading, "I spend my time discouraging my chud sons from studying Theatre, Music, Sociology, or English, but I'm still going to pretend to be surprised when none of my chud sons are studying the things I told them not to bother studying." The quote gained over 360 likes in six years.

The post quoted a since-deleted tweet from X^[2] user @toadmeister that showed a graph of a "Jaw-dropping study of the extent of left-wing bias in top U.S. universities" (recreation shown below).

Despite the aforementioned post, usage of Chud Son didn't receive widespread memetic usage until early 2023, seemingly started by X^[3] user @ViagraPussy on January 14th, 2023, who tweeted, "this a picture of my chud son that I hate," receiving over 30 likes in a year (shown below).

On February 26th, 2024, X^[8] user @chronakey quoted an image with an anime girl destroying "Western Twitter," writing, "My chud son sent me this image after I told him to wash the dishes," gaining over 25,000 likes in eight months (shown below).
