What is the deal with the memes about this pumpfun creator?

Noticed this on X - https://x.com/a1lon9/status/2109013702301081860?s=46&t=hIzoEodXdsCR1fEElG8w5g

Pretty new to memecoins so I'm wondering if someone can explain to me why I'm seeing these long chinned AI and cartoon versions supposedly of this pump fun creator Alon Cohen? Feeling a bit out of the loop as to the joke behind it.

Has he never revealed his identity before or something? Or has the guy got a strong jaw line ect?

Trying to understand why I'm seeing these memes or why the guy himself is using it. Feels like an inside joke I'm not clueing in on. Probably the algo but coming across AI versions of it on my TikTok feed as well. TBH just don't really get it, and struggling to find out any backstory behind it. Or is that the point? It's not suppose to make sense?

Answer: The original meme is quite popular and is very commonly redrawn. It's so popular and the original source is so comparatively niche that pretty much any person/character the scene is redrawn with has no relation to it, other than the creator finding it funny and relatable solely due to the meme's popularity. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/akakichi-no-eleven-redraws

Okay - Thank you. Was feeling like I was missing some inside jokes To be fair I never really got the Jean Phil thing either lol which kind of reminds me of this one too.

The jawline memes are just a way to make him look like a 'gigachad' for the community.

Answer: pump.fun is a site where anyone can create a memecoin for free in like 10 seconds. it's spawned some genuinely unhinged coins (fartcoin, a coin about a baby hippo, a coin about a squirrel) and the creator basically went from anonymous to making hundreds of millions in fees. the memes are mostly about how wild the coins get people livestreaming themselves doing stunts to pump their own token, a 13 year old making $30k before school then rug pulling everyone, one dev literally setting himself on fire. the platform is just... chaos
