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"
On the Internet, edgy refers to someone who feels that opinions out of the mainstream are automatically better, and that holding these opinions makes them smarter and better than people who do not. An edgy person feels the need to constantly lord their sense of superiority over the "dumb sheeple" who are not edgy. An edgy person does not pick their battles/arguments the way most people do, rather they will jump at the tiniest chance to tell you how smart and nonconformist they are, often shoehorning their "shocking" opinion into largely-unrelated conversations and intentionally using the most inflammatory words they can think of. It's the intellectual equivalent of giving yourself green spiked hair and looking down on people who don't.
1. In Glasgow (Scotland), to "keep edgy" is the act of watching out for teachers/police/law-abiding citizens while another of your friends commits a crime or prank of some kind.
2. The resulting cry from said look-out, announcing that teachers/police/law-abiding citizens are approaching.
