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"

Tyler’s throwing a fit now because he lost his Call of Duty match for the 4th time in a row. He’s such a try-hard. It’s just a video game!

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.

A person who makes an ass out of themself by saying or doing something edgy or controversial strictly for attention.

A Try hard (refering to women) Is exactly that, trying hard to get attention, normally by posting thirst traps if nothing else works. The type of women who try to post a pic showing an object but they are standing infront of it.
They also use the term "pick me" often to insult other women who don't agree with their attention wh*** ways.
They assume other women are "just jealous".
