“no-jams” (pronounced like it looks) is a derogatory term for members of the BTS fandom (known collectively as ARMY) that act out of pocket and
perpetuate old BTS memes and stereotypes about the members.
The term itself comes from a very popular clip of BTS leader
RM (Kim Namjoon) telling another BTS member Jimin (Park Jimin) that he had “
no jams”, a nonsensical phrase that instantly became popular with ARMY for its weirdness. Over time, as with many memes, it became overused, and now ARMY uses the term to reference other ARMY who act cringy when discussing the members.
The term isn’t widely used by many K-ARMY or even
I-ARMY for that matter, but it is most popular with
American ARMY on Twitter, and occasionally Instagram.
You can identify “no-jams” if they believe RM can’t walk two feet without breaking something, that Suga has no feelings, or any other widely inaccurate and overused stereotypes of the members of BTS.
“Hey, did you see this tweet by @clumsynamjoonoppa?: ‘
kekeke there
joon goes again breaking lamps
keke don’t let him hold the awards he might break them’”
“Ugh, that’s such a no-jams thing to say.”
