Another old person in fandom here. It's funny because I rather liked those words, they seemed so apropos for the context.

[(Anonymous)]

Snark and Squee will never die, sorry!

[cloudtrader]

Why not? Smarm has.

[(Anonymous)]

I could do without squee, but snark is too onomatopoeic to be discarded.

[(Anonymous)]

I love those words, and 'snark' still seems to be used quite a bit. 'squee' has fallen a bit out of fashion, which is odd because fandom still squees a lot.

[arcadiaego]

They used squee in the finale of Doctor Who last year which probably means it's jumped the shark.

[dethtoll]

I have no real opinion about squee but "snark" I think has useful applications outside of fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

*tips fedora*

[(Anonymous)]

They're all great and useful words.

[(Anonymous)]

"Squick" is an INCREDIBLY useful word.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with everyone saying that 'snark' is a pretty useful word. I actually don't mind it in real life - I think I just saw it really overused in fandom, so it started to annoy me. Snarky reviews, talking about snarky characters, praising snarky dialogue, snarky snark everywhere.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

"Snarky reviews"

In a part of fandom I used to be in this was usually another word for "reviews in which I was an obnoxious, smug, abrasive twat".

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Snarky snark is actually perfectly serious and polite, as two negatives equal a positive.

[(Anonymous)]

I like all three of these words and find them all useful, although "squee" does have a bit of a gendered edge, and can be used in a way that bothers me a bit. Kind of like the word "fangirl," "squee" can be used to be derisive of a certain kind of enthusiasm that's almost exclusively female. I think it comes from how close to "squeal" the word is - "squeal" being an almost inherently derisive word used almost exclusively on women (unless one is talking about pigs).

Also, "squee" may be falling out of popularity now because slang like "feels" and "I can't" has taken over, essentially allowing people to express an even broader range of fannish emotions using language that reads more as a pronouncement.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't have minded this if not for how the things that were once "snark" are now "hate" and you are a horrible person for uttering it.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes what the people saying it consider snark can be "being a jerk" to everyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

What ade the replacement words?

[(Anonymous)]

"problematic"?


jk jk

[(Anonymous)]

Trigger tends to get used instead of squick.

[(Anonymous)]

It may fall out of fashion, but I will never abandon "squee".

"Feels" and "I can't" don't even begin to cover that glass-shattering, eardrum-splitting, dog-howling sound I emit when I'm at the heights of fangirl ecstasy.

So I use the word regularly. *shakes her cane* ;)

[(Anonymous)]

Squee and squick are terrible. Snark is brilliant.

[(Anonymous)]

I once had to explain to my boyfriend what a "huggle" was. It made me feel old! I haven't seen people use it in years!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm ok with and use the word 'squee' online, but I absolutely hate the word and usage of 'derp'. Does that make me a hypocrite? who knows. Not liking internet words isn't a crime though.

[litalex]

I love both words. What's wrong with them?
