Typically a derogatory term for obnoxious, upper-class, party dudebros.

Chad can have several different meanings depending on where you’re from and how you use it. For some, a Chad is basically just a trend following douche, and/or obnoxious upper class dudebro. For incels in online communities that rebirthed the term, it means divine alpha male. It can be used in both positive and negative context. Chads modern use seems to have originated in Chicago in the mid 2000’s on internet forums about incels (men who consider themselves incapable of getting laid) using it as the word to describe an alpha male in peak form. It was said to have been created before in a humorous way in World War II ads in the UK. It somehow found its way to online forums in Chicago many decades later. It’s meaning is somewhat fluid. They like to party and have a totally good time. It often entails someone being douchey. Chad’s female counterpart is Stacy, who originated from the Trixie in the same Chicago internet forums. The fully evolved form of Chad is the GigaChad, he will lead us from evil.
