Cheugy = uncool, outdated
Yesterday, being uncool was referred to as being a "boomer". As if they were part of the Baby Boom generation, the one that produced French movies full of racist jokes, sexist remarks, and unfiltered cigarettes. But those who still say "boomer" in 2021 are Cheugy. Because that's what Cheugy is all about, it's the word that's replacing "boomer", which replaced "naze", "bolosse", "loser".
According to the New York Times magazine, Cheugy is a person who is not up to date, who does too much. The Canadian daily newspaper, Le Devoir, likes to list some characteristics: if you love rosé, Redbull, and your best friends are the characters from Friends, well, you're Cheugy. We don't really agree with this description, so we made our own based on one of our favorite Cheugys (who will remain anonymous). For us, Cheugy is...
He wears Stan Smiths, still has his Eastpack bag from high school that he takes everywhere, listens to his "walkman" or vinyl records, watches movies on DVD because Netflix and Apple are "the devil". He says that "you can't say anything anymore", that "it was better before", but watches television every night and doesn't go beyond channel 6, because the other channels don't exist for him. People think he's between 35 and 50 years old. So, do you know anyone like that? The Instagram account that perfectly illustrates cheugy..See this post on Instagram
