It definitely started gaining traction from based god lil b lol

I think the funniest part about it is how obviously over the top and ridiculous lil b would be, then yeah the alt right tried to take it over but now it's basically back to the lil b style meaning.

I'm not into the culture so I didn't want to lean too heavily on this one source. It's good to have some corroboration!

he talks about it in this interview from 2010, a little more than halfway through the article. afaik, his use is where the slang originates.

Yep, sounds about right for the timeframe, my friends in HS listened to his music, I honestly don't know if they ironically liked it or not, it's not "good" but it was pretty funny.

Swag swag lmao

As far as imageboards go, I believe lil b was the origin, not mere traction. KYM can hopefully confirm.
