Edgy
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.)
