🔘 Chasing Clout


What does chasing clout mean?


◻️Doing things just to become popular
Chasing clout is when someone does and says things for the sole purpose of becoming more popular. It is most often used to describe people on social sites that are shallow and desperate to gain followers and become famous.
The phrase became popular in 2016 as a way to criticize "fake" people that pretend to be something in order to get more attention. It comes from the hip-hop music scene, along with the "Clout chase" term and has become particularly popular on social sites, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat.

On social media, people may chase clout by posting comments and sharing photos that promote their fake lifestyle. Or they may pretend to be someone else to become friends with a famous person that has more "clout" that they can leech from. People that take part in this type of clout chasing are called "Clout leeches."

People on social media that take advantage of social movements may be called "Performative activists." This term became popular in 2020.
There has been some criticism of the "chasing clout" phrase since people have begun calling anyone who wants to be successful a "clout chaser." The difference between people that just want to be successful and clout chasers is that clout chasers are willing to forfeit their identity just to get fame.


❓Example
Man, Andy's out here chasing clout big time.
Yeah, he's so fake.

Lightning and thunder and
Ooh, I'm not dead yet
In case you were wonderin'
This is what a sad song sounds like
It's been playin' in my head for my whole lifе
It's beautiful and cruel at the samе time
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like
It's tearin' up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (ooh)
This is what a sad song sounds like
This is what a sad song sounds like
Say it like you love me, say it like you care (care)
I know that I'm fucked up, I don't even care (care)
When I close my eyes, I swear I can disappear

Ooh, it's all in my head (my head)
Lightning and thunder and
Ooh, I'm not dead yet (dead yet)
In case you were wonderin'
This is what a sad song sounds like
It's been playin' in my head for my whole life (whole life)
It's beautiful and cruel at the same time (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like (beats like)
