Started by millennials defined by tiktok. If match made in heaven is a thing, then this must be it.
Recently a term has gown viral which has divided generations and genders. A term that groups a number of food, fashion, decor, and aesthetic preferences by how not-trendy they are. The word is “cheugy” and it’s as cringe-y as it sounds. “Cheugy,” as defined by the viral TikTok that started it all, is “the opposite of trendy.” The word denotes more than just all things out-of-style, though. It also points to how “behind” a cheug might be for following a certain trend long after its prime. For something to be cheugy, it has to have been the height of fashion at one point. People who are cheugy are referred to as cheugs. Media described as cheugy include "live laugh love signs", "Minion memes", "using words like 'doggo'" and "anything that says 'girl boss' on it" While it has been compared to "being basic" some sources have suggested that it is "not quite 'basic'". Evening Standard said that "the cheug's logical archnemesis is probably the hipster".
The term is claimed by many to reflect intergenerational conflict: Rolling Stone said that "Millennials [...] are forced to confront the vestiges of our own mortality in the form of relentless, merciless roasting from Gen Z" and Vice said that "cheugy, just like the Gen Z-Millennial war, can also be a phase that comes and goes". The Cut said that "so far, much of the Cheugy Discourse is people just trying to suss out what is and isn’t cheugy. The rest appears to be millennials having an existential crisis."
