The term 'Chronically Online' emerged as a way to describe individuals whose worldview is entirely shaped by niche social media bubbles and constant internet discourse. It gained massive popularity as a meme used to mock people who take minor online disagreements too seriously or apply academic jargon to everyday social interactions. Often associated with the phrase 'touch grass,' the meme highlights the disconnect between digital echo chambers and reality. It is frequently used to call out over-sensitivity, performative activism, or simply to acknowledge that someone has spent way too much time scrolling through Twitter or TikTok.
