While meant as a joke, discussions and descriptions of the challenge include a lot of sexist language and reinforce many traditional gender stereotypes. The slang simp helped prompt an alliterative internet challenge called No Simp September, a riff on other such occasions as No Nut November, itself modeled on the likes of No-Shave November. of shiny chins #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #simp ♬ hey ya rockstar – emetuttellĪnother moment that brought simp mainstream attention came in March 2020, when many young men said they were, or were accused of, acting like a simp ( simping) in response to a massively viral video from TikTok user in a Bernie Sanders campaign t-shirt dancing to “Oki Doki Boomer,” a novelty song referencing the OK boomer meme. That’s when TikTok user created a viral TikTok trend called “Simp Nation.” In this trend, people, usually young men, post short videos describing allegedly stereotypical behaviors of a simp, like comforting his girlfriend or buying her dinner and not getting repaid with sexual attention as a result.

In 2013, YouTube user DJ Akademics referred to a simp as an “overly emotional” man in a video titled “Drake is officially King Of Simps.” In 2019, simp further spread on social media, notably found as an insult for weak-willed men on Men Going Their Own Way subreddits. The relationship between the historic and contemporary slang simp is unclear, but we can’t rule out connections-or at least associations-between the two terms. Then there’s simp as a short form of simpleton (a fool), which was first recorded all the way back in the early 1900s. For instance, on Ice-T’s 1987 “Our Most Requested Record ,” DJ Evil E raps: “Taking out all simps and suckers …” Urban Dictionary entries in the early 2000–2010s also use simp in this way, with some of them maintaining that simp is a blend of sissy and pimp. Hip-hop lyrics from the late 1980s and 1990s were already using simp as an insult for a men perceived as too subservient to a woman. The internet teen slang simp, as is true of many slang terms that go mainstream, appears to come directly from Black hip-hop slang-and it’s older than you may think. It’s popularly claimed that the internet slang simp is an acronym for “Suckers Idolizing Mediocre Pussy.” But, as usual, the story of simp isn’t so simple. The slang simp appeared to come out of nowhere in 2019–20.
