A Degen, short for degenerate, is someone that likes to turn up and get fucked up constantly. Some people engage in degen activities, but are not identifiable degens, while some have degen tattooed on their liver.
Are you ready to be a degen tonight? Yeah, I'm gonna get so faded you can catch me waking up at 4 pm.

Someone who is vanilla, but viewed from inside a subculture where weird fetishes are the norm, r34 and related. Like "normie" but for sex related things. Almost never actually an insult.
A: yoo holy shit have you seen this Peach x Bowser r34? I wish he would rape my ass like that.
B: no sorry, I'm not into that, I'm a vanilla degen

A shortening of the word degenerate, and a conjugation of the words degenerate and generation - a generation of degenerates, such as alcoholics, drugs addicts, and others needing eventual longterm medical care for persistent substance abuse. This type of care is often liver, kidney, or cardiovascular.

Short for degenerate. Anyone who tends to overindulge in risky behavior, particularly gambling. Compulsive gamblers, daily options traders, and shit/memecoin traders tend to ironically label themselves as this. They are willing to risk their last dollar or go into debt for another taste of the action. Other vices such as alcohol, cocaine, and hookers synergize well with the lifestyle. All degens are degenerates, but not all degenerates are degens.
Bryce just got his account liquidated trading Dogecoin perps on 50x leverage! Fuckin degen.
