Word History
The term Groyper emerged in the late 2010s as part of a subgroup of far-right activists, particularly associated with extremist white nationalist views. The term itself is believed to have been coined by followers of Nick Fuentes, a prominent far-right commentator, and has since been used by a growing community of young, mostly male, internet users. The name 'Groyper' is derived from the internet meme of a frog character, often used by alt-right communities, which is a variation of the popular 'Pepe the Frog' meme. This subgroup is primarily known for promoting white nationalist, anti-Semitic, and anti-immigrant ideologies, with their presence often marked by online trolling and disruptions at conservative events.
