If you’ve heard your kid say something like, “I lowkenuinely love this song” and had to pause for a second, you’re not alone. TikTok has done it again, introducing a brand-new word that sounds made up but somehow makes perfect sense.
Lowkenuinely is a mash-up of “low-key” and “genuinely.” It’s used to casually express sincerity without making a big deal out of it. Think heartfelt… but chill.
Instead of saying, “I truly care about this,” Gen Z and Gen Alpha might say,
“I lowkenuinely care.”
How It’s Being Used
You’ll hear it in captions, comments, and voiceovers when someone wants to admit something real while pretending it’s no big deal.
Examples:
• “I lowkenuinely miss that era.”
• “This show lowkenuinely changed me.”
• “I lowkenuinely wasn’t ready for that ending.”
So if it suddenly pops up in your house, don’t panic. It’s just the internet finding yet another way to say, “I mean this,”without actually saying it.
Low-key… but genuine.
Or, as TikTok would put it, lowkenuinely.
