Twink Death is an internet slang term used to describe the transition of a young man with a youthful, slender, or effeminate aesthetic into a more conventionally masculine, rugged, or aged appearance. The term gained significant traction on platforms like Twitter and TikTok in late 2022, often using celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio or Timothée Chalamet as hypothetical or real-life examples of how youthful features shift over time. While the term can be used disparagingly, it is most frequently utilized as a humorous, dramatic observation of the inevitable passage of time and the changing standards of male beauty within internet subcultures. The meme typically follows a side-by-side comparison format, contrasting a person's peak youthful era with their more mature current look.
