Drip

Definition:

Describes someone's stylish or fashionable appearance, particularly their clothing, accessories, and overall aesthetic

Context:

The term "drip" originated as far back as the mid-90s in hip-hop culture, gaining mainstream traction through Atlanta rappers in the mid-2010s. It likely evolved from the concept of "ice" (jewelry) that "drips," metaphorically suggesting an abundance of luxury items.

Through internet culture, numerous memes have emerged including "Among Drip" & "Goku Drip," where characters are edited to wear hypebeast clothing items like Supreme gear & Nike Dunks. Related phrases include "drippy" (another way to describe someone stylish), "drip or drown" (suggesting one must either have style or metaphorically perish), or "respect the drip Karen" (based on a viral video trend used to showcase ridiculous outfits).
