What is Cheugy?

Some neologisms end up having an impressive online presence, spreading virally, but without many of us even being aware they exist. Cheugy is one such term! 

It more or less means old-fashioned or passé, standing for anything which is no longer trendy. It’s a term which has highlighted an intergenerational culture war between the Millennials and Gen Z in 2021, the latter using it to mock their predecessors.
