🔘 VSCO Girls
◻️ Preppy female teen Instagrammers
VSCO girls are a group of female teen Instagrammers and TikTok users who are known for wearing scrunchies, wielding Hydro Flasks, and expressing their desire to "save the turtles." They began appearing on Instagram and other apps in 2019, dressed in largely similar oversized t-shirts, crop tops, and Birkenstocks.
The VSCO girl movement was started by teen girls who edited and posted photos to their Instagrams using the VSCO photo-editing app. The app's filters made it easy for these teens to portray their lives as "beachy," "effortless," and "laid-back." As the VSCO girl trend grew more popular, a number of female YouTubers began creating "transformation videos" detailing their transformations into VSCO girls. These videos often included the YouTubers' search for VSCO girl-appropriate accessories, including Fjallraven Kanken backpacks, metal straws, and flashy scrunchies.
Because VSCO girls are predominantly white, thin, and affluent, and they've adopted slang (like sksksk and "And I oop") that originated in other online communities, reporters and critics have often called the VSCO girl trend exclusionary. VSCO girls themselves are often mocked as being basic, because they cling so strongly to certain brands and social media trends.
❓ Example
"I got my Crocs, my Carmex, and my puka necklace. I'm totes ready to be a VSCO girl."

🔘Simping
◻️Obsessing over a person that does not return the same affection
Simping is when a person obsesses over someone and does things that he wouldn't normally do in order to please that person. It is primarily used online to criticize and make fun of a person for exerting a lot of effort to make someone happy who doesn't share the same romantic feelings.
While traces of the term date back to the mid-2000s, it did not become popular until the late-2010s. Teenagers and young adults mostly use the term on social media, especially on Twitter and TikTok, to call out others for acting like simps.
Simping is commonly done by a heterosexual male who is pursuing a disinterested girl in order to make her like him. He may say or do things out of his character in order to appeal to her desires. While simping is not as creepy as stalking it is seen as pathetic because everyone can see that it is desperate and a fruitless endeavor except for the simp.
The female being pursued may be unaware that she's breadcrumbing the guy. Or she may be doing it on purpose because she likes the focused attention.
Simping may also be used to make fun of guys who are just generally kind to a female without getting any sexual favors in return. This type of criticism has been scrutinized since it promotes "toxic masculinity" where it's only worth it for guys to be kind to women if they can get something out of it. Some claim that "SIMP" stands for "Suckas Idolizing Mediocre P****."
While simping is primarily done by desperate guys, girls may also be guilty of it when they are hopelessly infatuated with someone.
❓Example
"Antoine pretending to like the WNBA and buying tix to the game to get with Keysha is next level simping."
"Yeah, he's pathetic."

◻️Obsessing over a person that does not return the same affection
Simping is when a person obsesses over someone and does things that he wouldn't normally do in order to please that person. It is primarily used online to criticize and make fun of a person for exerting a lot of effort to make someone happy who doesn't share the same romantic feelings.
While traces of the term date back to the mid-2000s, it did not become popular until the late-2010s. Teenagers and young adults mostly use the term on social media, especially on Twitter and TikTok, to call out others for acting like simps.
Simping is commonly done by a heterosexual male who is pursuing a disinterested girl in order to make her like him. He may say or do things out of his character in order to appeal to her desires. While simping is not as creepy as stalking it is seen as pathetic because everyone can see that it is desperate and a fruitless endeavor except for the simp.
The female being pursued may be unaware that she's breadcrumbing the guy. Or she may be doing it on purpose because she likes the focused attention.
Simping may also be used to make fun of guys who are just generally kind to a female without getting any sexual favors in return. This type of criticism has been scrutinized since it promotes "toxic masculinity" where it's only worth it for guys to be kind to women if they can get something out of it. Some claim that "SIMP" stands for "Suckas Idolizing Mediocre P****."
While simping is primarily done by desperate guys, girls may also be guilty of it when they are hopelessly infatuated with someone.
❓Example
"Antoine pretending to like the WNBA and buying tix to the game to get with Keysha is next level simping."
"Yeah, he's pathetic."
