A cheugy arc describes a period in someone's personal style or online presence where they were deep in the cheugy aesthetic — posting inspirational quotes over sunsets, using chunky highlights, and being extremely invested in Erin Condren planners. The arc framing is borrowed from storytelling and fandom, letting people look back on that phase with bemused self-awareness rather than pure cringe. 'I had my cheugy arc' functions as both confession and absolution.
Going through my old Instagram is a journey — I had a full cheugy arc from 2016 to 2018 that I'm not ready to discuss.
