What is Boujee? Boujee Meaning Explained
Fancy, expensive, high-maintenance, or glamorously extra
Boujee energy means you like the finer things, even if your bank account doesn’t. Think luxury, glam, designer fits, and vibes that scream ✨I don’t do basic.✨
Boujee is a remix of “bourgeoisie” — but Gen Z made it sparkle. It’s a word for people who like the luxe life: designer bags, matcha everything, hair always done. You don’t need money to be boujee — you just need expensive taste (or pretend well).
