What Does The Slang Term "Aura" Mean And How Do You Earn Aura Points?

Aura is a slang term that was popularized online in 2023 and 2024, often used to compliment men for their charisma or presence. The term first grew prevalent in soccer and basketball communities on X / Twitter, likely due to people commending Liverpool player Van Dijk for his "aura." Memes about people's "auras" continued to spread in 2024, as seen in the Can You Be Fat and Still Have Aura and Level 1 Aura. Jokes about gaining and losing "aura points" also notably spread on TikTok in May 2024.

Seriously, these terms are now kids hearing a word and using it based on perceived context without bothering to look up what it actually means.

that's language everywhere and in all times
this is not new

[@EvanSawyer4]

@@thisrandomdude_ fair enough…
Though, I still think it’s not exactly the same. We didn’t always have google.
I’m not a language prescriptivist. I’m always on the side of: “this is what that means now, deal with it”.
What i’m saying is, the evolution of language in the information era, used to feel more intentional than it seems now. And you are right that the way it is now is what it used to be before the internet.

That’s what’s beautiful about how word of mouth can spread new linguistic slang.

It amazes me that the vocabulary of a modern day human is so small that they'd rather just use a random word instead of describing something with a sentence.

Why am I even more lost on what aura means

[@diddybong]

I appreciate that someone endeavours to make old people like me understand what on Earth kids are saying. But holy crap I got brain rot watching this.

[@thisrandomdude_]

this is so funny to me. like it's kinda brainrot-ish but that's part of the appeal too, it just loops back around to being funny (and relevant)
humans are weird and fascinating
