ASD
/ˌeɪ.ɛsˈdi /
abbreviation (coined, art & cultural criticism)

noun U

A cultural condition in which algorithmic systems, platform mediation and pervasive digital representation reshape social life and individual identity - producing fragmentation of the self, the flattening of experience into curated feeds, and a blurred or displaced relation between physical presence and digital persona.
→ Coined by Chong Yan Chuah in his project ASD Algorithmic Societal Disorder.

(figurative) A social syndrome signalled by algorithmic acceleration, affective numbing, ritualised spectacle, and the outsourcing of memory or legacy to databanks and machine-learned avatars (digital afterlife).

Form: used attributively (ASD aesthetics), mass noun (the city fell into ASD), rarely plural.
Register: academic / art criticism / cultural commentary (metaphorical; not a clinical diagnosis).
Etymology: abbreviation of Algorithmic Societal Disorder. Term introduced by artist Chong Yan Chuah.
“The exhibition staged a world steeped in ASD where avatars, mannequins and algorithm-pushed imagery recompose human bodies as synthetic sculptures.”

Italian word. More relaxed than "lol", but less cringe than "XD"
It was very common in MSN and other chats or game chats (e.g. Habbo Hotel Italy) and forums (e.g. Sciax2) in 2000-2010.

People who use it nowadays are just nostalgic of old good internet times.
