Acting wild, irrational, or out of pocket — usually in a funny or embarrassing way

Gen Z brought “tweaking” back into the mainstream, but flipped it from serious to unserious. Originally linked to panic or overstimulation, it now lives in wild reaction memes — like a mental breakdown, but in meme form.
