π Chasing Clout
β»οΈDoing 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.
βExample
Man, Andy's out here chasing clout big time.
Yeah, he's so fake.

Mike Posner β I'm Not Dead Yet
Hoodie on my head, cold breath in the air (air)
People walkin' by like I'm not even there (there)
Last three nights felt like a hundred years (ooh, ooh)
I get paid for my pain long as I can make it rhyme (rhyme)
But sometimes I can't tell if it's even mine (mine)
Either way it's beautiful, look at how it shines
It sounds like
Ooh, it's all in my head (my head)
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 lifΠ΅
It's beautiful and cruel at the samΠ΅ 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

Miya hee, miya ho, miya hu, miya ha-ha (Ay)
This a special what's happenin' to all my
All my soldiers over there in Iraq
E'rybody right here
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got
You know what I'm sayin'?
Stop lookin' at what you ain't got
Start bein' thankful for what you do got
Let's give it to 'em baby girl, hey
You're gonna be, a shinin' star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows, just who ya are-are
So live your life (eh-eh-eh)
You steady chasin' that paper
Just live your life (oh, eh-eh-eh)
Ain't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (eh-eh-eh)
No tellin' where it'll take ya
Just live your life (oh, eh-eh-eh)
'Cause I'm a paper chaser
Just livin' my life (ayy) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin' my life (ayy) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin' my life
Hey, never mind what haters say, ignore 'em 'til they fade away
Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paved the way for you cats to get paid today
You'd still be wastin' days away now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protΓ©gΓ©, homage I think they should pay
Instead of bein' gracious, they violate in a major way
I never been a hater, still, I love 'em in a crazy way
Some say they sold the yay' you know they couldn't get work on Labor Day
It ain't that black and white, it has an area the shade of gray
I'm Westside anyway, even if I left today and stayed away
Some move away to make a way, not move away 'cause they afraid
I brought back to the hood, and all you ever did was take away
I pray for patience but they make me wanna melt they face away
Like I once made 'em spray, now I could make 'em put the K's away
Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break
You'd rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away
You're gonna be, a shinin' star
In fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows, just who ya are-are
So live your life (eh-eh-eh)
You steady chasin' that paper
Just live your life (oh, eh-eh-eh)

Just livin' my life (ayy) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin' my life (ayy) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin' my life
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with
The spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate, but still I'll grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever havin' problems with their record sales just holler Tip
If that don't work and all else fails then turn around and follow Tip
I got love for the game, but ay I'm not in love with all of it
Could do without the fame, and rappers nowadays are comedy
The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguin'
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in
Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositin'
Them checks into your bank account, and you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin' horribly
Unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss poor morally
Ignorin' all prior advice and forewarnin'
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?
You're gonna be, a shinin' star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows, just who ya are-are
