On social media, some have condemned the term “cheugy,” accusing it of being misogynistic and used as yet another way to “bully” women. This is misguided: bullying is what happens when you weaponize markers of someone’s identity against them, and if you consider wearing Tory Burch sandals an integral aspect of your identity, then you probably need to take a long hard look at your own privilege.
But even if “cheugy” is relatively inoffensive, it does seem targeted at a very specific cohort: white, middle-class, millennial woman., Kelsey Weekman describes it as an encapsulation of the “millennial girlboss aesthetic.
Lorenz disputes that cheuginess is defined by race, class, age, or gender . “It just means corny, like trying too hard with the trends,” she says, adding that “all of straight TikTok is cheugy, basically.” Nor is it necessarily a bad thing; indeed, if one is designated cheugy, being ashamed or embarrassed about it is possibly the cheugiest thing one can do.
. Much of the mockery has been fairly light-hearted, with Zoomers skewering Millennials for their side parts, skinny jeans, unironic use of the term “doggo,” and predilection for using the crying-laughing emoji; some of it, such as criticizing millennials for embracingcorporate feminism, has been more serious. But Millennials have not reacted to this particularly graciously.

Streets ahead.
This story is cheugy!!😉
Stupid
Ok boomer
That word is not catching on. So lame.
Fascinating
Why are generational wars a thing between us Seriously. We should be the generations that unite to make things better for the next. We share so many of the same good and bad experiences (tech revolutions, useless war and poverty). The media/news needs to chill on this.
Intergenerational feud 😂😣🥲 What are we millennials doing we have tax returns and back aches we need to stop
Fascinating
ok💚
Y’all need to stop with this fake feud, why are you purposely trying to put two of the most aggressive groups together.
There is no feud. It's something made up by media to try and separate the two generations from fighting together against corporate greed and control.
creating generational divide for click bait is cool I guess
You mean the non existent feud some random buzzfeed writer came up with for clout?
What the hell is a zoomer?
Psst... Millenials largely don't care what Zoomers are doing. We've got jobs and rent and elderly parents to worry about now. If anything, Millenials want Zoomers to enjoy their youth before it's destroyed by reality. Be stupid, kids. We all were. It's fun.
Hate it here
I love her smile!
