As the title states, how edgy do you view yourself as?

I'm sure we all know what edgy means but here's the Urban Dictionary definition of it for good measure

Used to describe something that is excessively dark, often to a point where it's overbearingly depressive nature could be considered humorous.


So from a scale of 1 to cutting yourself while listening to Evanescence and choking on the tears of a million orphans, how edgy are you? I personally see myself as a solid 11.

That is a different meaning from "edgy" that I know.

But regardless the definition I would say that I am quite edgy indeed on multiple levels. A) I am quite dark and cynical. B) I have unconventional opinions about many things. C) I do things differently from others just to feel superior and rub it in their face.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

Man "edgy" has become such a broad term and could mean multiple things at this point.

For media I usually think of edgy as "Stuff that is overly dark just for the sake of it or stuff that is dark with no substance [looking at you akame ga kill anime]

And honestly I have no idea what makes a person edgy. Someone could have a cynical outlook on the world, enjoy dark humour and still not be "edgy".

I use to be, wouldn't say I am currently, I just don't feel the need to exert the energy that I would need to be edgy anymore. Yeah I have depression so I guess to some extent I might be, but I wouldn't actively call myself edgy

I am the epitome of un-edgy. I wear business casual, I daily drive a boring sedan, I work 9-5 in the office and pretend I'm productive while posting on anime forums.

My phases that could be considered "edgy" are few and far between. It's been more or less a positive development over these four or so years. Still shaky though.

Never been humorous though for anyone. I don't see how it could be. How does that even work? I can only see it being humorous if you draw from people's shitty experiences. And if you do, well good for you I guess. I can't relate.

As edgy as Hikigaya from Oregairu.
Youth is a lie. It is nothing but evil.
Those of you, who rejoice in youth, are perpetually deceiving yourselves and those
around you. You perceive everything about the reality surrounding you in a positive
light. Even if you make a life-threatening mistake, it would still be seen as proof of
your youth- etched into a single page of your recollections.
I’ll give you an example. If such people are to dabble in criminal acts such as
shoplifting or mass rioting, it would be called ‘youthful indiscretion’. If they fail an
exam, they would claim that school is not only a place for studying. So long as they are
in the face of ‘youth’, they’ll be showcasing a distortion of any commonly held beliefs
or social norms.
Under their discretion, lies, secrets, crimes and even failure are nothing but the spice of
one’s youth. And in their corrupt ways, they discover something peculiar about failure.
They conclude that while their own failures are generally a part of relishing in youth,
others’ failures should be shot down as just failures and nothing more.
If failure could be seen as proof of one's youth, wouldn’t it be strange not to consider
those who fail to make friends as experiencing the height of their youth? Of course, they
wouldn’t acknowledge it.
It amounts to nothing. The whole thing is nothing but a result of their opportunism.
Therefore, it is a sham. Full of lies, deception, secrets and fraud that ought to be
condemned.
They are evil.
That is to say, ironic as it is, those who do not glorify their youth are the truly righteous
ones.
In conclusion, Riajuu, go blow yourselves up.

My nickname in high school was dark lord dan. I wore black skinny jeans, long sweaters, and used my jet black bangs to cover my right eye. Since then I’ve mellowed out and people call me Danny now.

ITT: People discussing edgy without knowing what edgy means.


Edgy means cutting close to the edge. It's in the name. Basically having opinions on the edge of what's acceptable. Edgy is used in a pejorative manner for people being against the flow just to be cool.
But being edgy is not necessarily a "bad" thing.

Also. OT: Edge businessman.

To declare "edgy" to oneself is ridiculous.

But since I am a ridiculous person then, I will say that I like balls

Bit of a trick question. If I say I'm not edgy I'll look like an edgy loser trying to look normal, and if I say I am edgy I'll look like an edgy loser who thinks being edgy is cool. Either way, who knows. I'm definitely a pessimistic cunt so some would probably see me as an edgy loser.

apparently everything i like humour , shows etc is EDGY as fuck.
But honestly i just find that people use EDGY these days to describe anything that doesn't fit the norm.

if i find something cool as hell people usually call it edgy so eh... Edgy isn't even used properly these days so i guess anyone is edgy.
