Daria - "As far as I can make out, edgy occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy -- not to mention the spending money -- out of the "youth culture." So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be dangerous when every move they make is the result of market research and a corporate master plan."
We only do edgy.

ANOTHER NEW TREND OF AN OVERUSED ADJECTIVE THROWN AROUND THE INTERNET TO USE IN ARGUMENTS AND PATHETIC INSULTS WHEN THE PERSON USING THE WORD DOES NOT HAVE THE CREATIVE CAPACITY OR A THOUGHT PROCESS WHICH CAN GENERATE ORIGINAL MATERIAL TO USE AN INSULT THAT STILL HAS SOME VALUE

Get the edgy mug.
A word that teenage internet trolls use to describe anyone that has more personality than a shovel. This includes anyone who likes any kind of music, movies, video games, books, art, fashion, as well as anyone who DOESN'T accuse others of being "edgy." Typically, the people who use this term have low IQs, and do not know the actual two definitions of the word. They use it to insult anyone who is not them, not realizing that one of the definitions is a compliment, and the other simply means "nervous."
