アゲ
Significado: Pumped up; hyped; in a high-energy, uplifting mood.
アゲ describes a state of being energised, excited, or having your spirits lifted. It comes from 上げる (ageru, to raise) and became a signature term in 2000s gyaru culture. It can describe your own mood (テンションアゲ, spirits are high), music (アゲ曲, a hype song), or a vibe that lifts everyone's energy. It is the opposite of サゲ (downer).

✗ Incorrecto

Errores comunes
- Confusing アゲ with just being happy — アゲ specifically implies high energy and excitement, not calm contentment
