Revision as of 19:29, 10 April 2025

"Ahoyt" is a term coined by Joshua Block. The word is a blend of "Hoyt," referring to the Hoyt–Schermerhorn Street subway station in New York City, and "Ahoy," a nautical greeting in reference to Josh being known as the "Captain".

Background

Joshua's obsession with Hoyt-Schermerhorn likely has to do with him creating a video in reference to Michael Jackson's "Bad" music video, which was filmed at the station. In the video, Josh donned a black wig and leather jacket, and filmed himself dancing around the station, lip syncing the song.[1]

Instagram

Josh regularly posts selfies of him at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn St. subway station, captioned "Ahoyt". The community has used these photos as an aid to compare Josh's constantly deteriorating state at different points in time. This has been ongoing since 2021.[2]

Ahoyts by Year

Below is a year by year progression of the "Ahoyt" photos, with descriptions detailing the physical changes and deteriorations.

One of Josh's first Ahoyts. As you can see, he looks happy, healthy and carefree, probably because this was taken during the Coffee and Boba Era before the alcoholism began.
