brain rot

This word describes the condition when the mind becomes numb while watching meaningless short videos, memes and low-effort content. You get tired but can’t turn off the phone – this is brain rot.

main character

This is a positive thinking. Meaning: Taking control of your life instead of keeping yourself in a side role, living with self-love and confidence is called main character.

wabi-sabi

This idea originating from Japan became a trend through TikTok. Wabi-sabi talks about embracing incompleteness, simplicity and originality – a calm thought against the filtered world.

Pookie

This word Pookie, used for friend, partner or pet, remained a favorite of Gen-Z even in 2025. It means lovely and very special.

npc

This word, which originated from gaming, is now used to taunt those people who follow trends without thinking. Those who do not have any distinct identity are called NPC.

nonchalant

‘Nonchalant’ means to be carefree, sad and cheerful or calm. Especially in such a situation where excitement should be visible, but the person pretends that it does not matter to him.

6-7

There is no fixed meaning of 6-7. It came from a song and then became an inside joke. Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha find its absurdity most amusing, while the older generation is often left confused.

Zesty

This word is used for people who are excessively expressive or dramatic. Sometimes it is called Zesty, sometimes jokingly, sometimes as a light quip.

Aura Farming

This means looking so relaxed and carefree that people get attracted to your vibe. This trend started from a viral video and then spread everywhere. Like Salman Khan is another name of Aura Farming.

It’s Giving

If you want to describe the effect or feel of something, Gen-Z says ‘giving luxury’. Now this has become the most common expression on social media.
