If a person, a song, a film, or a piece of writing is angsty, it is full of that heavy worry and unhappiness — the feeling that life is too much and you cannot see a way through. We say it most about teenagers, and about art that sounds miserable on purpose: an angsty teenager, angsty lyrics, an angsty novel.

If a person, a song, a film, or a piece of writing如果一個人、一首歌、一部片，或一篇文章 is angsty是angsty的, it is full of that heavy worry and unhappiness就是充滿了那種沉重的煩惱和不快樂 — the feeling that life is too much也就是那種「人生負荷過重」的感覺 and you cannot see a way through看不到出路的那種感覺。We say it most about teenagers我們最常拿它來講青少年, and而 about art that sounds miserable on purpose拿來講那種故意聽起來很悲慘的作品: an angsty teenagerangsty teenager（苦悶的青少年）, angsty lyricsangsty lyrics（苦悶的歌詞）, an angsty novelangsty novel（苦悶的小說）。

Though actually不過其實, it can sound a little mocking它可能會帶點調侃的味道, as if the feelings are a look someone put on彷彿這些情緒只是一個人刻意擺出來的姿態, like black clothes and a sad playlist就像穿黑衣服、放悲傷歌單一樣。You would not usually call a grieving parent angsty你通常不會用angsty來形容一個正在喪親的父母。It is not a medical word這不是一個醫學用字, and而且 it is not a kind label to stick on someone who is really unwell也不是一個適合貼在真的生病的人身上的親切標籤。

Use it when the mood is dark, self-searching, and a bit dramatic — and be careful whose shoulders you put it on.

Use it用這個字 when the mood is dark, self-searching, and a bit dramatic要在那種氛圍陰鬱、反覆自我省視、又有點戲劇化的時候 — and而 be careful whose shoulders you put it on要小心你把這個標籤貼在誰身上。
