Talk:Jejemon

Bad English

The English here is very much broken as if it should be under Simple English. Can someone fix it? I can't as an iPod touch can't scroll down on text input boxes.

Possible sockpuppet?

Based on these users' edits, User:Chrystal Quirao and User:Shawty0408 are possibly sockpuppets of User:Mm8mjed considering the similarities of their edits and the fact that these could be single-purpose accounts. E Wing (talk) 23:46, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Significant?

How has this subject not only been justified as having an article, but been featured on the front page? This article says nothing about how widespread the usage is. Considering the short time frame (article cites it as beginning just this past month!), it's a bit odd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.237.117.203 (talk) 20:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I seem to remember seeing this article removed under CSD a few weeks ago. Apparently, it's back. Curious. Bagheera (talk) 20:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I've tagged it for Notability--if anything, it seems even more dubious/fleeting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siegferret (talk • contribs) 16:29, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I wonder how the article is dubious when it's fairly obvious that it received mentions in local mainstream media. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 22:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Looks like we have jejebusters on our midst. jejejeje –Howard the Duck 18:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Origins: It IS NOT LEET

It seems that, you must reconsider that the JEJEMON language have few similarities in terms of LEET language. You may reconsider adding information such as those. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knytmare (talk • contribs) 13:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Gerardd (talk) 08:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC) Although it may seem that the JEJEMON Language may have gotten its origin from the LEET Language in terms of using rebus, LEET language is still more structured as opposed to the JEJEMON Language. Taking this into consideration, the similarities between the two would simply be the combination of Letters and Numbers to create a word... and nothing more. Just my thoughts.

1337 speak has NOTHING to do with Jejemon. 1337 is creating words with minimal use of letters in order to avoid being picked up by search engines. It still pretty much follows proper grammar and sentence structure and in most cases, proper spelling (spelling without letters, that is). Jejemon is over-stylizing words and is born from outdated trends. - ShootinPutin109 ^Talk. 10:15, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hell you guys keep leet out of this. Leet has nothing to do with jejemon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.193.146 (talk) 05:46, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Additional Info about jejemon

For demography:

The hipster or so-called “hip-hop” is usual image of a jejemon. These can be tracked down to the image of a teen from a slum or a ghetto in the mainland of Philippines as they use jejenese for text messaging and network chatting. Most jejemon prefer themselves to be called “gangstas” from the root word gangster. This group of people use such contexts and spellings for the sake of being cute to attract opposite sex. By means of jejenese, these gangstas flirt with the opposite sex and elude shyness while keeping fellowship at no risk. The term grew to a phenomena and lead to more types of people to indulge in the same usage of context, again to avoid shyness and flirt. They found jejemon to be effective to get the attention on most people and thus start conversation. This then became a social fad and most people even those that are not hipsters adopted the subculture and lead other people who use standard contexts to be irritated. We can find lots of people nowadays who express their irritation to jejemon on facebook and other blog sites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.108.31.34 (talk) 23:13, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Pop Culture or Subculture?

Is "jejemon" a subculture or a pop culture?--114.108.227.159 (talk) 01:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Incomprehensible

This article is so poorly written that it's practically incomprehensible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.190.150.223 (talk) 08:05, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Them's fighting words. Fix it? --Obsidi♠n^Soul 08:52, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Spanish connection

The j in "jeje" is pronounced "h" because of spanish influence. (Think "Alejandro", "Don Juan", "fajitas", etc.) It is not a random thing originating from the Philippine Internet.
