edgy

Simple-mindedly and transparently trying to appear tough or 'cool', for the sake of being provocative and/or offensive.

Usually, this is done to disguise the fact that otherwise, that person or thing is not at all - intellectually or otherwise - provocative.
The main protagonist of the video game DmC: Devil May Cry is a good example of an edgy character. Instead of allowing himself to be perceived as cool or tough by others through doing impressive things, he needs to resort to heavy cursing and macho posturing. In doing so, it becomes clear to the viewer that the character itself is probably trying desperately to seem cooler than they are.

In stark contrast, the protagonist of previous games in the series was considered cool because of his wit, carefree attitude, and refusal to be intimidated. If he too attempted to make himself look cool, at least those attempts were cloaked better, and didn't try to be overtly provocative.

edgy-quirky kid

a 8-15 year old who tries their best to seem 'different' or 'quirky' by pretending to be depressed / pretend to be having mental illnesses / or pretending to be committing to unhealthy coping mechanisms (self harm). they usually do it for validation and sympathy when the truth is that they're completely fine or just basically lying the whole time.

examples of these kids can be seen in subreddits like r/im14andthisisdeep following the 'fake deep' trend and the commonly seen fetishization/glorification of mental illness and mentally ill people.
