What is Deep? Deep Meaning Explained
to dismiss something dramatic, emotional, or overanalyzed
Deep is how Gen Z shuts down overreactions, drama, or thinkpieces. If someone’s spiraling or doing too much over a simple situation? Hit ’em with “it’s not that deep.” Cold. Brutal. Effective.
“Deep” flipped from its old-school meaning into an iconic Gen Z shutdown phrase. It started showing up in memes and Twitter threads when people overexplained minor issues — often as “it’s not that deep.” Now it’s a savage way to dismiss drama with two words.
