The deep web is a part of the web which you can't access via your typical browsers like Chrome, Internet Explorer (but who uses that?) and Firefox, it can be accessed through TOR. The websites on the deep web don't end with .com or .eu, they end with .onion. It contains 95% of the internet, the visible web is just 3%. It's commonly compared to the dark net, since people think it's the same thing, although it's not. Most entities that use the deep web / dark net prefer to stay anonymous, using vpns. A lot of people try to show off/joke about when using the term "deep web". p.s: you're not "cool" if you're using the deep web, nobody cares.
