Edgy is a word whose meaning has greatly changed over time. Back in the '60s-early '80s, "edgy" referred to talented satirists like George Carlin who took well-deserved potshots at a notoriously conservative, straight-laced, and repressive establishment who had strict rules about what you could and couldn't say on broadcast. Nowadays, since people like Carlin basically won that battle a long time ago, and it's normal to hear people talking about vibrators on Oprah, "edgy" refers to people who just say outrageous things for shock value, or take knee-jerk, reflexive anti-authority/anti-status-quo stances without carefully thinking over the ramifications of what they're advocating.
I spent 10 minutes on Reddit, and in those 10 minutes, I learned from some 14-year-olds that the Holocaust is hilarious, that all fat people are lazy pieces of shit, and that the reasonable solution to environmental pollution is to ban all cars. How very, very edgy.
Confusing but people use this word to describe their style if they are not actually edgy and just go around saying the word like a cringy wannabe when in reality they will never be in that type of culture.
Omg jemima you look so hipster and edgy today! I love your kimono and those ripped white jeans
An adjective used to describe someone who tries excessively hard to make people think they are insensitive by saying things that are messed up at any chance they can get in order to shock people, but it just ends up sounding cringey and most people can see right through it. Most people will use this word incorrectly to clarify the situation (e.g after someone makes a dark humor joke) because that is important for some reason, which gives others a wrong idea of what the word really means which is why not many people know what the f@#& it means in the first place.
Person 1 “Would you slap this (insert cute animal here) for a million dollars?”
Person 2 “I would do more then slap it, I’d stomp on it until it’s a meaty pulp and then use it’s head as a flesh light”
Person 1 “Wow, you’re super edgy”
Someone who uses something dark or depressive to try to be cool, different or funny
“Omg best gore is hilarious I think I’m a psychopath”
Bro shut the fuck up you’re so edgy
A characteristic trait in which an individual is blunt, to the point, in a cynical sense. This bluntness represents a sharp if not 'edgy' view of the world. Also a person who looks to stand on the edge of tall buildings.
My god, John is rolling a blunt, he's pretty edgy.
basically when somebody thinks they're ALL the shit and wear black clothing with upside down crosses and call themselves "aesthetic" they also are incredibly stubborn and hard to argue with
"bro you look really edgy with those upside down crosses"
"HOW IS THAT EDGY I AM AESTHETIC!!!"
"wdym"
"STOP YOU'RE TRYING TO HARD TO WIN THE ARGUMENT"
"what?"
"OH WAIT THERE IS NO ARGUMENT BECAUSE I ALREADY WON!"
"please shut up"
"YOU JUST DON'T HAVE A GOOD STYLE!!!"
"kill me"
"YOU ARE EDGY NOT ME"
"please kill me"
