Lore Meaning: What is it? And How Genz use this Slang?

[Mahikaur]

Hey, I keep seeing the word 'lore' being used a lot lately, especially by Gen Z. Can anyone explain what it really means and how it's being used as slang these days?

The original meaning of lore is knowledge or stories but Gen Z has turned lore into a slang term to refer to the back story or reputation of someone such as to say, that is her lore to explain her vibe or her past.

Gen Z has a more casual approach to it as personal or pop cultural history.

1. Her fashion history or history of style, amazing.
   
   
2. That is group chat lore= a humorous story or encounter with friends.

“Lore” means background story, history, or knowledge about something, often fictional. Gen Z uses “lore” as slang to describe someone’s personal history or funny backstory, like saying, “That’s part of my lore,” to explain quirky past events.

Lore refers to a person's or an object's background, history, or secret information. This colloquialism, which is frequently shared in amusing memes or conversations, is used by Generation Z to allude to dramatic moments, life events, or personal backstories.
