After Daniel Howell posted his iconic coming out video, old fans suddenly logged into their old phan accounts to repost old fan edits with the title being ''hits different". This lead to fans going back to old dan and phil videos and commenting the same. It then spread to videos that weren't even related to phan at all.
dan from 2010- "fyi, i like vagina."
phil from 2010- "same"
Phandom: "This hits different"
A phrase describing two individuals who have very little to nothing in common, in terms of personalities, interests, opinions and/or beliefs. A softer way to say that two people are generally uncomfortable in each other's presence and because of the resulting tensions are unlikely ever to get along or even be able to stand one another.
Dave doesn't talk to his father anymore. They're just two different people who never saw eye-to-eye on anything.
