Philip Lindsay explained in a TikTok video that 'Gigachad' originates from internet memes, merging 'Chad'—the archetype gym bro obsessed with physical appearance—and 'Giga,' denoting something extreme. This caricature represents the heightened standards of male attractiveness perpetuated through social media, emphasizing both physical build and an exaggerated masculine persona.
The 'looksmaxing' phenomenon is a key aspect of Gigachad culture, focusing on physical enhancement to achieve societal ideals of attractiveness. It includes strategies like 'mewing,' despite dental experts debunking its effectiveness, highlighting a mass pursuit among Gen Z for perceived beauty through often unrealistic methods.
