CAMP (noun/adjective)
/kæmp/
Camp in internet and pop culture slang means something is deliberately over-the-top, theatrical, exaggerated, or artificially flamboyant in a self-aware and humorous way. The term description focuses on the celebration of artificiality and being "extra" on purpose, rather than trying to look serious or realistic.
Deeply rooted in LGBTQ+ culture, it flips traditional standards of taste on their head by embracing drama, irony, and playful self-awareness over seriousness. Whether it is an outrageously avant-garde fashion look, a hyper-dramatic movie scene, or a highly stylized performance, camp thrives on being beautifully "extra" and finding joy in the wonderfully ridiculous.
