==Personal Life==

In "Gender Tier List", uploaded to YouTube in January 2022, Greg proclaims jre is jreggender and goes by jre/jrem/jres (also spelt "jris") neopronounshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9r1ETRKgwo. Although in the full streams, Greg says jre is bigender (anarchogender and jreggender)https://youtu.be/nryZm99cbJQ?t=5070 and uses quee/quem/ques alongside jre/jremhttps://clips.twitch.tv/WiseTiredClipsmomVoteYea-OTvRkXD32lH_MWGN. The bigender/anarchogender and quee/quem part was edited out. Like most things Greg does, it's purposely hard to discern whether jre is being sincere or not. Jre has "Jre/Jrem" in jres Twitter bio and refers to jremself with jre/jrem on the JregCoin websitehttps://www.jreg.co.in/ (a satirical cryptocurrency project).
On August 2022, jre announced that jre is running for mayor for Ottawa, for the .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mmZueNth4khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj0N3P7nklc Jre claims that jre will nationalize the city through a concept called "Ottawexit", and will build a big wall named "Ottawall" to separate the city from the rest of Canada.http://greg.guevara.angelfire.com/
==History==
Greg started jres YouTube channel on April 14, 2009 at 11 years old, when jre released the video "Flava Crava" on the YouTube channel flavacrava (later renamed Jreg) for a school project.
Jre would not use the channel again until five years later, creating "Dramatic Reading of Excavia". Jre would continue using the channel sporadically throughout high school and college, with jres channel attracting little attention.
2019 marked a turning point where jres content shifted from random skits and music to politics. On April 8, 2019, jre uploaded the "Political Compass Rap", which blew up in popularity. A month later, jre'll reach 10k subscribers. Over the course of the following year, jre released multiple videos detailing the beliefs and praxis of a satirical political ideology called anti-centrismhttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGALsgF3LJjyWV2j4Jmy5SJmtgTCzifSV. The recurring characters on jres channel eventually culminated into jres first web series, Centricide.
In mid-2021, after the conclusion Centricide, jre renamed jres channel to JrEg (jokingly pronounced as junior egg), marking the end of the first "JrEra".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRlwQvrIXto After the rebrand, jre took a month-long break. Jres videos in the new era tend to focus on satire about psychology alongside political satire. In late 2022, jre renamed jres channel name once again, with Gregory "Jreg" Guevara.
==Web Series==
===Centricide (2019-2021)===
Centricide follows the Anti-Centrist (Jreg) and 4 extremist ideologies from each quadrant of the political compass as they band together to eradicate centrism. Taking place in a world of humanized ideologies, the series protagonists include Anarcho-communist, Anarcho-capitalist, the Communist, and Nazi. The series features several original musical numbers.
The first episode was released August 5th, 2019. The final installment premiered February 13th, 2021. 
=== The Mental Illnesses (2021-present)===
"A great idea for a series that everybody loves"
The Mental Illnesses is about a cast of personified mental illnesses as they navigate a world of neurotypicals, along with getting into hijinks themselves. The series is formatted similar to a sitcom. Like Centricide, it features musical numbers.
A trailer/pilot of the series was uploaded in February 2021 directly after the last Centricide installment. It was originally thought of as a one-off joke. The first episode came out in May 2021 and is currently ongoing.
==Political Beliefs==
Greg's political beliefs aren't particularly clear but jre is said to be an identitarian, libertarian, anti-centrist, Marxist-Leninist, centrist, and a progressive. However, it is highly likely that jre has made this deliberately ambiguous for a comedic effect since jre is well known for employing multiple levels of irony in jres videos. It's a running joke that jres true political beliefs are unknown. Jre stated in "Mistakes I Made While Making My Webseries" that once jre reaches 400k subscribers, jre'll reveal jres actual political beliefs. 
In January 2022, JrEg reached 400k subscribers. A day later, jre released an 8-second video titled "My unironic political ideology", where JrEg proclaims jre is a social democrathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkOlhUnYT8s. Whether this is another joke is unclear.
