What it means

A label for a guy who tries too hard to look cool — named after a high schooler whose birthday performance imitating Alan Walker went viral.

Why it's trending: A high schooler's birthday performance imitating Alan Walker went viral, and his nickname 'Jiahao from the class next door' became a label for any guy who tries too hard to look cool.

The deeper story

A high school birthday and a Monet painting — two completely different events that merged into one meme.

What happened

Part 1: The high schooler

A student nicknamed "政阳不是羊" decided to celebrate his birthday by performing a DJ routine in front of his class. He wore a black hoodie and black mask, played a music video, and mimed along. Classmates filmed it, posted it online, and he became "隔壁班嘉豪" (Jiahao from the class next door).

Part 2: The Monet painting

Someone posted a photo of Monet's Water Lilies on social media, claiming it was AI-generated. Self-proclaimed "experts" jumped in to analyze why the painting was "obviously AI" — pointing out the brushstrokes, the composition, the "lack of soul."

When the poster revealed it was a genuine Monet, the experts were exposed as confidently wrong.

The fusion

Netizens connected the two stories. "嘉豪行为" (Jiahao behavior) became the term for confidently pretending to be an expert on something you know nothing about — a natural extension of the "tries too hard to look cool" energy of the original 嘉豪.

Related slang

  • SBTI — another personality parody from the same era.
  • 搞抽象 — "doing abstract": Jiahao is a form of 搞抽象 in real life.

How to use it

Call someone "嘉豪" when they're confidently giving wrong advice, pretending to be an expert, or "mansplaining" something they just Googled — or just posing too hard. It's a gentle roast for the confidently incorrect and the try-too-hard.
