GigaChad began as viral photos of model Ernest Khalimov shot by photographer Sleekntears, presented as the impossibly muscular ideal man. In 2021 the image was paired with the Average Fan vs Average Enjoyer format, where a frantic fan is contrasted with a calm, bearded enjoyer walking toward the camera. Editors set those walk ins to Can You Feel My Heart by Bring Me The Horizon from 2013, and the pairing spread across YouTube, TikTok and meme pages as shorthand for calm, superior enjoyment.
About this sound
The GigaChad meme sound from Average Fan vs Average Enjoyer edits, set to Can You Feel My Heart and used online to show confident approval or praise.
This is the dramatic rock excerpt most people know as the GigaChad theme, pulled from Bring Me The Horizon's Can You Feel My Heart as it plays under Average Fan vs Average Enjoyer edits. A heavy synth build, pounding drums and the pained vocal hook create an instantly serious tone that contrasts with the ultra confident Chad image on screen. When it hits, a simple preference or everyday habit suddenly feels heroic and unquestionable. Viewers read it as instant approval, masculine confidence and ironic self belief, which is why the clip works even without the original video attached.
