Hits different

An overused co-opted phrase that people of inferior creativity use to describe something out of the ordinary. It’s often an attempt to present the speaker as being a person of culture. Also used when comparing a scenario before and after a variable occurs. X hits different now that Y has happened. Either use makes the listener cringe and wish for new friends.

Hits different

Something making you feel different than it did before.

I like the Roblox Piggy vocal songs but in thr lyrics of "It Gets Better - Vocal Version" there is "You're stronger than you think" and I've watched the ending cutscene of the Piggy map "Breakout" where I saw the military advertisement poster with Sgt. Monroe on it that Said "You're Stronger Than You Think! Join Today!" And now the "You're stronger than you think" part in "It Gets Better - Vocal Version" just hits different.

After Daniel Howell posted his iconic coming out video, old fans suddenly logged into their old phan accounts to repost old fan edits with the title being ''hits different". This lead to fans going back to old dan and phil videos and commenting the same. It then spread to videos that weren't even related to phan at all.

dan from 2010- "fyi, i like vagina."
