Edgy

Adj. Used to describe a person who is often unpredictable, and may or may not live by societal norms, not by distinct choice but subconsciously. This can create an aura of mystery, as few people are able to get close to them. This description is neither compliment nor insult, as their authenticity is attractive but their volatility is often intolerable/unacceptable.

Adj. "rough around the edges."
My date with Tom was fun and he's interesting but he is too edgy - he was 2 hours late to pick me up and then took me to a completely different restaurant than planned. He was great in bed, but very guarded and I don't see any potential for a long-term relationship.

People are starting to get edgy

I read today on Yahoo! Finance that we hit the debt ceiling.

Not really sure what that means; but people seem to be freaking out and getting a little edgy. People seem under pressure.

So am I. But I’m really just confused. Maybe I have it better than most, I don’t know.

If crime in this country starts to pick up and skyrocket in the next few days just like in COVID pandemic, then I will probably know for sure.

Edgy Cho-In Park

People believe that their community's well-being has turned to shit because of 'edgy' Cho Changs that hang around their local parks. Asian dipshits who wear black air forces and cross earrings who cant pull girls to save their tiny dicks and masturbate with their bubble tea. They either resort to watching hentai in the park or may seek their typical Asian Amy, only to find she's fucking useless when it comes to sex, just like them.

Edgy humor

Humor that uses offensiveness as part of the appeal and is based around offensive (or taboo) subjects. Edgy humor can take many varieties and forms. An example is the classic gay jokes and rape jokes that were a huge part of gaming culture in the 2000s.

An important and common element in edgy humor is the jokes are not normally enjoyed in a literal way. Usually offensive subject matter is used for an ironic effect or some other sort of psychological effect. For instance, a person may make racist jokes due to humor in the ridiculousness of what is being said and the stupidity of racist stereotypes. Certain slang that was common on the early internet (e.g. "fag, retarded") may be regarded as edgy humor, because these terms were used in a figurative and sarcastic tone, rather than being meant or believed literally.

Because offensive jokes have the potential to be misunderstood and the people offended have a desire to demonize said jokes, edgy humor is normally taken out of context nowadays to just mean "person using jokes to push bad beliefs or prejudices". Edgy humor has had its meaning changed by some as people wish to entirely discount the idea that people can like offensive subjects ironically as humor. Due to edgy humor being misconstrued and people's fear of being stereotyped as a result of them, edgy jokes of all kinds have slowly faded into obscurity in the recent era of the internet, but there is still a subculture that engages in said jokes.
