What is Mid? Mid Meaning Explained
Something that’s average, overhyped, or straight-up disappointing

Mid is Gen Z’s ultimate low-effort roast. If something is mid, it’s not even bad — it’s worse. It’s meh. Mid gets used to shut down hype, trash a take, or flame anything that’s low in energy.
“Mid” took over internet slang by making “average” sound like the ultimate insult. It’s what Gen Z and Alpha say when something just didn’t live up to the hype — or when they want to shut it down with one syllable.
