Glazing is when someone praises, defends, or hypes another person to an over-the-top, almost embarrassing degree. It gained popularity in 2021 in online circles, mainly Discord servers, X/Twitter threads, and gaming communities, as a cheeky evolution of earlier, more explicit phrases for excessive flattery. The humor comes from how dramatically it exaggerates simple compliments: if you’re “glazing,” you’re not just supporting someone… you’re doing it way too hard.
As the term spread across TikTok, Twitch chats, and YouTube comment sections, "glazing" became the go-to way to call out fans, friends, or random commenters who seem too eager to sing someone's praises, whether it be an influencer, athlete, celebrity, or crush. Today, it’s most common among Gen Z and gamers. If someone accuses you of glazing, they are probably just telling you to chill because the compliment you gave sounded like it came with sparkles, heart emojis, and maybe a fan club application.
