edgy

Edgy is a word whose meaning has greatly changed over time. Back in the '60s-early '80s, "edgy" referred to talented satirists like George Carlin who took well-deserved potshots at a notoriously conservative, straight-laced, and repressive establishment who had strict rules about what you could and couldn't say on broadcast. Nowadays, since people like Carlin basically won that battle a long time ago, and it's normal to hear people talking about vibrators on Oprah, "edgy" refers to people who just say outrageous things for shock value, or take knee-jerk, reflexive anti-authority/anti-status-quo stances without carefully thinking over the ramifications of what they're advocating.
I spent 10 minutes on Reddit, and in those 10 minutes, I learned from some 14-year-olds that the Holocaust is hilarious, that all fat people are lazy pieces of shit, and that the reasonable solution to environmental pollution is to ban all cars. How very, very edgy.

edgy

most likely someone reading this now, hoping to find some definitions to send to their friends talking about drugs, racism, extreme political views, or all of the above
someone most likely in their pre-teens since no one older than 14 actually uses this site since its become such a fucking mess due to these children, most often males, looking to be as offensive they can for the sole reason of impressing their friends who don't yet realize it's a mistake to act the way they are. but regardless of how many times you tell them, they're too stubborn to understand and, using their mad edginess, push the fact that they don't care and might even call you a faggot a couple times. if you're lucky, you'll get called the n word
