Lore has evolved from its historical roots in teaching and knowledge-sharing to a modern slang term that describes the dramatic and sometimes traumatic aspects of personal identity. This shift reflects how individuals, especially in Gen Z, use the term on social media to communicate hidden or intriguing stories about themselves. As evidenced by TikTok posts, 'having lore' refers to possessing a captivating backstory, while 'dropping lore' involves revealing unknown life events. The term’s evolution highlights its significance in understanding contemporary identity formation and storytelling.
