Sigma
의미: An independent, self-reliant person who doesn't follow social hierarchies — often used humorously or ironically.
Sigma (from 'sigma male') originally described a lone-wolf personality type outside the traditional alpha/beta hierarchy. While some use it seriously, Gen Z mostly uses it ironically to describe over-the-top independence or antisocial behavior. The 'sigma grindset' meme celebrates absurd levels of hustle and detachment. It's frequently paired with dramatic music and memes.
