9 Tweets That Perfectly Capture ‘Cheug Life’

Remember when the only labels were “cool” and “uncool”? Then we had the fleeting “ya basic” phase – was that when we tried too hard or not enough? It’s tough to keep track! Now, we’ve entered the realm of “cheugy” (pronounced chew-gee). As a 40-something mom who embraces her leggings and messy buns, I can’t help but feel a bit lost. But perhaps that’s the point; maybe I’ve reached the age where I’m meant to be bewildered by these trends as the younger generation ushers me into the world of crossword puzzles and cozy nights in.

To help decode what’s considered “cheugy” in our ever-evolving culture, I turned to Twitter. Apparently, just by looking it up, many of us are already deemed cheugy.

  • I went to Target and bought throw pillows AND made lasagna last night, so I guess I’m extra cheugy today!
  • No way. We’ll resist this label until the end.
  • Haha, kids, you’re in for a surprise.
  • Just toss me away. (Can we still use “yeet”?)
  • Honestly, a lot of us Gen Xers and millennials will probably never understand this, and that’s perfectly fine.
  • Oh, Gen Z, how we adore you! With your middle parts and quirky jean styles. But remember, we were just as bewildering to the previous generation. Enjoy your new trendy term and its vague meaning. If thrift store mom jeans and Birkenstocks are the new “cool” and “not basic,” then go for it, kids!
