HOT BOY SUMMER

We all peaked in 2021. This is the aftermath.

From jawlines that could cut glass to bellies that rest on our thighs. We traded everything - abs, girlfriends, sunlight, dignity - for charts, tendies, and the sweet release of never leaving the house again.

Current era basement rot wojaks

WE USED TO BE DANGEROUS

We had abs you could wash clothes on, actual social lives, and girls who replied within 30 minutes. Then crypto found us. Now we're all 50+ lbs heavier, wearing the same crusty black hoodie like a second skin, and our idea of touching grass is ordering DoorDash that gets left at the door for three hours because none of us want to stand up. This isn't one loser's story. This is the entire generation quietly dying in gaming chairs while pretending we're researching. We did this to ourselves. And we're too far gone to stop. Welcome to Hot Boy Summer - the summer that never fucking ends.

THE DEVOLUTION - CHOOSE YOUR PHASE

Phase 1 soft launch rot

PHASE 01

The Soft Launch

Still went to the gym... but only for mirror pics. "I'll cut in May" - famous last words. Strategic bulking for a summer that never came.

We're not getting fat. This is strategic bulking... for summer.

Phase 2 discord descent rot

PHASE 02

The Discord Descent

Gym canceled. Cardio replaced with scrolling charts until eyes bleed. 8 energy drinks and a sad 3am burrito.

Leg day is for men with futures.

Phase 3 hoodie era rot

PHASE 03

The Hoodie Era Begins

Haven't seen direct sunlight since Q2 2023. Summer body postponed indefinitely. 14 identical black hoodies, all stained.

I don't sweat. I secrete pizza grease.

Phase 4 chair becomes furniture rot

PHASE 04

The Chair Becomes Furniture

Gaming chair has a perfect mold of our ass. 142 steps per day. We affectionately call our gut "the bags I'm holding."

My summer bod died so my portfolio could live.

Phase 5 full send rot

PHASE 05

The Full Send

Showering is a monthly event. Tomorrow I'll fix this - while ordering another 12-piece. Eyes permanently bloodshot.

This is fine. (It's not. We're rotting.)

Phase 6 final form rot

PHASE 06

The Final Form

We are the HBS generation now. Crypto gave us money and took everything else. Haven't left the house since Trump's first term.

Hot Boy Summer? Bro we're in eternal Hot Boy Winter... and we kinda love it.

HOW TO REVERSE THE DEVOLUTION

(lol don't even try)

Touch grass (without having a panic attack from vitamin D)
Close the 69 trading tabs open 24/7
Drink something that isn't neon green and sugar-free
Put the McChicken down just once before your arteries file for divorce
Go outside again (try not to immediately regret every life choice)
⚠ WARNING: Relapse rate is 99.7%. Most of us will be found dead in our chairs still holding a half-eaten tendie. We salute the fallen. See you in Phase 6, kings.
