An “edgelord troll” is someone who says or does things on purpose to shock or upset others, usually to seem cool or important.
They often express very extreme or offensive opinions, not because they truly believe them, but to get a reaction from people.
Unlike regular trolls, who just want to cause trouble, edgelords want to be seen as special or smart for being “edgy.”
They might talk about dark or taboo topics to appear interesting or rebellious.
