has its origins in the 1940s where it appeared after the jazz age and initially when it appeared in the dictionary, it was define as “For Characters Who Don’t Dig Jive Talk”.

It reemerged in the 1990s again when the youth started to come up with their own fashions and styles. This time, the word started being used in a very different sense.
