"Karbit" or "karbitan" refers to someone who jumps on the bandwagon of something (
like a soccer team, band, or a trend) super quick, usually just when it’
s blowing up or having a moment. They’re not in it for the long haul and can easily switch to whatever’
s trending next.
In other community
like anime, or gacha games community, the term "karbit" is also used to describe someone who claims a character (usually fictional) as their "
wife" or "husband" for a short period, typically due to temporary popularity, hype, or just because they
like them for that moment, and then switches to a new "wife" or "husband" when a new character drops.
"This karbit dude’s out here posting “my istri” every
patch when a new waifu drops in Arknights endfield. No loyalty,
smh."
"Dude’
s already calling the new Wuthering Waves character his queen after one trailer. Wait for the next patch, lol."
