What's up with this use of "pick-me" lately?

Twitter learns a new word or phrase every once in a while and uses it over and over until it's becoming annoying.

Much like any ''Gen Z'' phrase,they take it and overuse it to the point where it doesn't even make sense most of the time.

It all starts with tik tok. Their was this trend of why other girls hate you and these are the pick me girls today.

Then their was the trend of hating the pick me girls.

Seriously speaking It's all hate from and to women. You can never win if you're a girl be it a pick me girl or a basic girl or a girly girl their is always something to hate about any type of girl.

And tbh that trend with female idols doesn't even make sense like yes their are girls who use being different as an excuse to shit on other women

But the female idols? Yuna or won young getting massive waves of hate for looking cute at the camera or accedantily touching some dudes arm for two seconds . It's really getting out of hand and these girls deserve better

agreed its annoying

People are constantly saying it about Bang Chan on Twitter just because It makes him happy to share with his fans the music he likes and complimenting idols he has affection for or/and admires.

I never understood how It means being pick me and why K-pop stans act like being nice is a crime.

This is great thing for their futur carrer if you re really calm everytime...this is just annoying

What the hell is pick me?

Pick me once had a specific connotation, a very specific situation it was used for i was told. Girls putting down other girls to get guys approval and attention.

Idols doing aegyo, idols wanting to show off their dance skills, idols namedropping other idols, none of these things seem to fit into the description of a pick me girl (or boy).

Quote

women who act "boy-like" and enjoy traditional male things were called pick-mes and try hards for supposedly wanting to be like "one of the guys" and seeming totally different from other women. But a woman also acts feminine and cutesy, and is also called a pick-me because she's doing it for male attention

roast women anyway no matter what they do

Kpop fans are inherently pick me - each person talks about how they're not like other fans and all the ways they're better and how their group is not like other groups and all the ways they're better.

The "not like other girls" energy is high in kpop. (And yes, I count myself here)
