Unconventional, surprising, odd.

A word often used by narcissistic scenesters when they describe their oh-so-unique selves in their Livejournal user info pages in attempts to sound like interesting people.

It is a word best used by one person to describe another. Those who apply "quirky" to themselves thereby call into question their very own "quirkiness" by seeming gleefully self-aware (just like everyone else).

these people (normally girls) aren't like other girls. They might be your average white girl but like scrunchies and call them selves quirky for that but then we have the hipsters. Unlike the self proclaimed quirky hipsters don't use the word quirky as much but definitely are. They will be decked out in weird or special clothes from the thrift store.

Used to define someone who was different but in a good/cool way. But it is now used as an insult to describe someone who is in desperate need of attention to the point they intentionally do abnormal things. Such as scene kids and hipsters.

Something that is cool but is not said to be cool because that would be uncool and to call yourself uncool would also be uncool but being uncool in a cool way would be quirky
