What 늙크크 means

Old-school vibes, or someone a step behind the trends — the opposite of 영크크 (young and trendy).

Origin

영크크 shortens “YOUNG CREATOR CREW,” a song by boy group CORTIS; 늙크크 swaps “young” for 늙 (old).

Numbers

Per Edaily, it took 7 weeks to spread from the early 20s to the early 40s — the fastest of the examples Edaily reported.

Careful

It teases age, so don't say it to a senior's face. As self-deprecation, it's fine.

'영크크'의 반대말로, 요즘 유행을 잘 모르거나 옛날 감성과 습관을 가진 사람을 장난스럽게 이르는 말이다. 주로 스스로를 낮춰 부를 때 많이 쓴다.
