This is used when someone still follows these out of date trends. It’s not quite “basic,” which can describe someone who is a conformist or perhaps generic in their tastes, and it’s not quite “uncool.” It’s not embarrassing or even always negative. Cheugy can be used, broadly, to describe someone who is out of date or trying too hard. And while a lot of cheugy things are associated with millennial women, the term can be applied to anyone of any gender and any age. Some examples of this include any girl boss themed merchandise, Double GG Gucci belts, Rae Dunn pottery and farmhouse decor, the crying laughing emoji, Punny Instagram captions.
