Know anyone who types "jejeje" instead of "hehehe"? That's a Jejemon! Usually seen around social networking sites (Facebook, Friendster and Multiply) and texting, jejemons are individuals who are tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise irritated. Normal people like us must make an effort just to read and understand "jejetyping". Deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling. And these jejemons are spreading fast.
There has been also stereotyping on Filipinos on the term Jejemon. They say that Jejemons are trying-hard Filipino gangsters and
emos. And sometimes they define Jejemons as poor Filipinos who dress up as 'GaNgZtaHz' and use txt language.
Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down to change their grammatical ways. There's even a hate page for jejemons on Facebook called Jejemon Haters and Jejemon Busters. More Jejemon definitions on urbandictionary.com. Jejemons are also featured in a GMA news show.
