An edgelord is a pretentious poseur on the Internet who tries to impress or shock by posting edgy opinions such as nihilism or extremist views. The term is a blend of "edgy" and "shitlord" – a person who "basks in the bitterness and misery of others". Merriam-Webster gave the following example: We decided to watch It's A Wonderful Life and my dad said, “Every year I wait for Jimmy Stewart to jump off that bridge but he never does it” - merry Xmas from the original edgelord. Edgelords were characterised by author Rachel Monroe in her account of criminal behaviour, Savage Appetites:
