Story Two words invented or trended after 2014 I still don't know.

[mänline]

From 2014 till 2019 I was barely on normal internet.
Two words I read everywhere after that:

gaslighting
lowkey

There were also other words, which I saw the first time like "infuriating" and clear net slang like "kekful", but these both I still don't know the meaning fully.

Thoughts? Any similar experiences of waking up in a different world?

Took me a while to figure out what a 'simp' was, weird world we live in.

Gaslighting, as a term, has been around for quite some time.
Lowkey is just some stupid zoomer shit.

No. My impression was right.

I don't get the word "chadpreet". I know it means an Indian Chad, but what's its ethimology?

Gaslighting is from some black-and-white movie made a long time ago.

Gaslight is romantic.
