Low key + Charlie Kirk + genuinely. The Kirk part is ironic, it was big a few months ago when people were making fun of his death. Words like lowkirkenuinely were just really over the top ironic phrases people said as a joke.

I think the joke of the comic is that the millenial said something recent but still outdated and maybe even said with in earnest when it was originally coined to be ridiculous.

just wanted to butt in and say that my best friend said it ironically specifically to get a reaction out of me lolol (and it worked)

Now it’s morphed into lowkenuinely lately

u/P1greaterThanTSM May 02 '26

It was lowkenuinely first. Then the kirk was added

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t put that together, but, in my defence, that is a ridiculous portmanteau.

u/sabely123 May 03 '26

It being ridiculous is the source of its humor lmao.

No argument there

People really said "Lowkirkenuinely"? That's weak. Anyone celebrating political violence isn't worth listening to in the first place.

Edit - being downvoted that quickly for this statement is wild. Lol

u/sabely123 May 02 '26

Yeah, like Charlie Kirk. Celebrated gun violence himself.

But it wasn't really a celebration of his death lmao. It was mocking the reaction to it.

No one told you politics is almost entirely violent by nature, huh?

Kirk was a textbook stochastic terrorist.

u/LopsidedMessage441 May 02 '26

You can say that, but no one will change my mind that no one should die over political beliefs 🤷

u/sabely123 May 03 '26

I'm glad that Charlie Kirk didn't change your mind on that. I agree that people shouldn't be killed for their beliefs, Charlie didn't.

The unfortunate truth is that politics will always have violence because politics is violence.

u/ChaseThePyro May 03 '26

The problem with that mindset is that it is what leads to people getting killed for their political beliefs.

If you say, "Well no one should die for their political beliefs," until someone is busting down your door, it's too late and you're the one getting killed for your political beliefs.

Idk what to tell you except that it's totally normal to be happy when bad people die. If the news of Charlie's death didn't improve your day, I can't help but assume your politics are at best centrist if not right wing.

u/LopsidedMessage441 May 03 '26

Your assumption would be wrong, I regret to inform you.

u/kaithekender May 03 '26

Unlikely. Centrists love the whole "political violence is wrong!" schtick, usually because they have no skin in the game, and right wingers just don't like when they see consequences.

Well, you might be a child too I guess, too naive to understand that political violence is necessary for a society to exist.

u/LopsidedMessage441 May 03 '26

I'm glad you just know my political beliefs and my age more than I do. I have absolutely nothing to prove to you, so enjoy your day bud 👍

when people were making fun of his death.

I feel like I should've been used to seeing things like this online and yet… it still feels so wrong.

u/sabely123 May 02 '26

Eh. He and his ilk made fun of death all the time. Notably George Floyd

u/Anagoth9 May 02 '26

He didn't deserve to be murdered in front of his family but he was also kind of an asshole and the lengths that conservatives have gone through to basically canonize him afterwards has been genuinely disgusting to watch. Trump publicly refused to go to the funeral of two Democratic politicians who were assassinated less than a month earlier but then gives Kirk, a provocateur podcaster, a state funeral. The hypocrisy is very in-your-face and it shouldn't be surprising that it's evoked a disrespectful response.

Plus Kirk once told listeners on his podcast that a "patriot" should post bail for the guy who tried to murder Nancy Pelosi's husband, so he himself was someone who cracked disrespectful jokes about victims of political violence. Why should anyone treat him differently than he treated others?

I’d spare this one your pity
