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.
Now that Marilyn Manson has been accused of heinous crimes, your tattoo of his face 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."
phil from 2010- "same"
Phandom: "This hits different"
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
