Try-hard

Originally (before the internets), someone that has stuff to prove to everyone while no one cares. A lot of efforts to blow a fart. With the internets : someone that will go above and beyond for some stupid crap no one cares about.

That TRY-HARD Jack wanted to film his cave exploring and now he's rotting face down in a pile of dirt below for ever when he had a wife and two kids.

- Look at how much Oscar is dribbling.
- Yeah, he’s such a try-hard

Or

Try-Hard

Someone who 'tries' too 'hard' to present themself as their idea of "cool", oblivious to the fact nobody else feels that way about their expression, instead coming off as corny / cringe-worthy. This might be a dude doing a burnout while driving past a group of unimpressed girls, or a pampered middle class youth displaying the gestures and sentiments of a hustler.

Person 1: "Did you see Kevins instagram post fronting like 'mr money' with like $80 in his hands?"
Person 2: "Yea I tried not to say anything... that's barely 1 days work... he's such a try-hard"

Person 1: "checkout that try-hard with the frosted tips and Guy Fieri shirt.. oh wait that's actually Guy Fieri"

Person 1: "Rob deliberately turns his music up like a full try-hard when driving past people dude, he thinks he's so cool"
