internet

Not originally rap-only, but adopted hard by the culture. It’s a sarcastic prescription for people who need to log off, calm down, or stop acting like their whole life happens in the comments section. Basically: go outside and reset your brain.

“He beefing on IG over sneakers — bro needs to touch grass.”

Basically “no lie,” but with that extra rap flair that makes everything sound like it belongs in a studio ad-lib. It’s a reassurance that what you're saying is legit, no cap, no exaggeration — just raw truth dipped in swagger.

“Studio rent’s crazy, no kizzy — my mic is the only thing paid on time.”

A dramatic way to say the world makes zero sense and everyone in charge is juggling chaos in full makeup. People drop “clown world” when news headlines feel like bad satire—wild scandals, upside-down policies, reality TV politics. It’s half joke, half coping mechanism: if everything’s ridiculous, at least you can laugh while it burns.

“They gave themselves a raise and cut lunch programs? Yeah, we’re fully in clown world now.”

When the internet decides someone is done—no more support, streams, votes, collabs, nothing. Getting cancelled usually starts with a viral call-out, a quote-tweet storm, and at least one 12-minute “here’s the full context” video. Sometimes it’s about real harm, sometimes it’s just today’s outrage hobby. Either way, the person goes from trending to toxic faster than a campaign promise.

“After that leaked clip, Senator Kaylee Rae is cancelled on my timeline till further notice.”

The late-night sport of endlessly flicking through bad news until your soul feels like a drained phone battery. Politics, scandals, disasters—if it’s depressing, it’s in the feed. You know it’s wrecking your mood, but your thumb keeps going like it’s on a side quest for anxiety. You don’t learn more, you just feel worse and suddenly it’s 3 a.m.

“I was just checking one poll… now I’ve doomscrolled through three crises and two fake scandals.”

Borrowed from gaming, where NPCs are background characters running on scripts, it became an insult for people who seem to just repeat whatever their favorite news channel says. Calling someone an NPC basically says they have zero main-character energy and their opinions came pre-loaded. Usually thrown around in political arguments by people who are, ironically, also repeating stuff they saw online.

“Bro heard one speech from Senator Branold Dump and now he’s an NPC for life.”

Originally a Matrix reference about waking up to “the truth,” this got hijacked by edgy political corners of the internet. To be redpilled now usually means someone thinks they’ve seen through the lies of “the system” and suddenly everyone else is a sheep. Sometimes it’s just “I googled a thread and now I’m an expert,” sometimes it’s a full dive into weird ideological rabbit holes. Big “I’ve done my own research” energy.

“Ever since he found that forum, he’s fully redpilled and giving election speeches at brunch.”

Used when someone drops an opinion that’s unapologetically theirs, even if it sounds like it was cooked up in a conspiracy-flavored group chat. Sometimes it means “I actually agree,” sometimes it’s “wow, that’s wildly unfiltered but go off.” Online it bounced from hip-hop slang to political meme-speak, where people yell “based” at takes they think are brave, edgy, or just annoy the right enemies. It’s basically the opposite of playing it safe.

“He said both parties are clowns and nobody’s fixing anything.” “Lowkey based.”
