What does "Edgy" mean?

An edgy person is some one who typically believes they hold and/or understand the hard truth of life. They are NOT: People who think they are cooler than everyone(See: Douchebag), although they may believe they are at a higher class than most people due to their views, thus making them somewhat of douchebags anyway. These people are often synonymously referred to as nihilists, and while nihilists do fit the basic definition of edgy people, you do NOT have to be a nihilist or have nihilistic views to be edgy. Edgy people are often mistakened for teens attempting to look cooler or impressive in others eyes, but this is generally not the case. While edgy people are more likely to be teens and young adults, their reasoning for their edgy behavior is generally to appear different.

Etymology: The term "Edgy" may refer to edgy people's personalities that may come off as "living on the edge", mainly due to their dark and sometimes even depressive outlooks.

An edgy person often has the following attributes:

1. They think they understand everything or something specific about something, usually life or it's experiences. Their "understanding" generally takes a dark or "hardcore" turn.

2. They may do over the top, "hardcore" things. Unlike your typical dumb teen, they do not do these things to look cool, but will often do these things for the exact opposite, strongly hoping to appear "different" or more enlightened to others.

3. They'll typically appeal to equally as edgy media and may develop their edginess from such media and media figures. Edgy media and media figures include but are not limited to: XXXTentacion, Tyler the Creator, Rick and Morty etc etc

Some social groups often become inadvertently edgy such as Feminism and the LGBT community(Mainly with the "gender" sect of the movement.)

Edgy - meaning

Something new-age or cool, never done before and groundbreaking.
Though this is the true definition, the word is usually misused as being for goths (not emo because emo is a kind of music) who overreact and and depressing themes
This misconception was probably started by the word being used ironically for stupid ideas that were just "too underground for you to understand"

"look at that EMO jared he's so edgy lololololol"
"fuck off kevin you don't know what words mean"

Edgy

Usually referencing the act of or being of a person that is 'trying' to be or may 'be' on the cutting-edge of something specific, or in general (very obscure music, extravagantly violent Asian horror movies, etc.) to be cool and ahead of the norm, and is usually used as an insult in most contexts.

Most people who get plastered with this label in a truthful manner, and not in an insult-like manner usually of which is improperly describing someones tastes in said things, are 'kids' or in general people who psychology have pushed themselves into a funnel of wanting to be part of something different because they can't fit in to anything else. Or to build a pseudo-ego to have something to be proud of, when in reality it is just making them look very dumb.

Surfer Guy 1: "Hey man, I found out about this.. "Floral Shoppe" music last night, you heard about it before?"
Surfer Guy 2: "Wtf, sounds edgy dude haha."
