[ SLANG ][ STATUS ][ NOUN ]
Someone who shows excessive, often one-sided, devotion or attention to someone they're attracted to, typically at the expense of their own dignity.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He superchatted her three times in one stream just to get a 'hi' — certified simp behavior."
LORE & ORIGIN
Roots trace to early hip-hop slang for an overly attentive man, but it exploded into mainstream Gen Z vocabulary around 2019-2020 through Twitch and TikTok callout culture aimed at viewers who donated excessively to streamers they admired.
