edgy

basically when somebody thinks they're ALL the shit and wear black clothing with upside down crosses and call themselves "aesthetic" they also are incredibly stubborn and hard to argue with
"bro you look really edgy with those upside down crosses"
"HOW IS THAT EDGY I AM AESTHETIC!!!"
"wdym"
"STOP YOU'RE TRYING TO HARD TO WIN THE ARGUMENT"
"what?"
"OH WAIT THERE IS NO ARGUMENT BECAUSE I ALREADY WON!"
"please shut up"
"YOU JUST DON'T HAVE A GOOD STYLE!!!"
"kill me"
"YOU ARE EDGY NOT ME"
"please kill me"

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 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.

Guy who likes edgy humor: "No, edgy humor is ironic... not all people who make racist jokes are actually racist"
