Stay Alive |-/ 

The phrase used by the twenty one pilots fandom. Usually stated or commented as a sort of greeting, similar to "have a nice day" or "I hope the best for you". It's also commented under posts of twenty one pilots fans that seem depressed or sad and is then taken literally to stay alive, to stay strong, and that the conditions will only be temporary.

stay alive challenge

Originating from Twenty One Pilots, this trending hashtag now known as #stayalivechallengeaccepted has been widely seen as a suicide prevention movement. The TØP fandom brought it to fame by saying stay alive |-/ as a greeting. Basically you post any picture about a happy event in your life and post it in black & white as a tribute to suicidal thoughts. The happy picture contrasts the filter to show that everything's gonna be okay.
Lately, my whole feed has been the stay alive challenge. I'm glad someone's finally taking suicidal thoughts seriously.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
