What is the meaning of dope?

[Guest]

Hello, I can’t understand why young people use the word “drug” very often in their slang and what does it really mean? Like, is it always about drugs or can it mean something positive? Just trying to wrap my head around this in simple terms.

The slang term dope is common among young people and means something excellent or impressive. One day at a party, a friend of mine described a new music group as dope and since then I started noticing how it is used in various contexts, from fashion to music. For example, this term on https://slang.parentaler.com/slang/dope-meaning/ not only emphasizes the positive aspects, but also serves as a kind of symbol of creativity and individuality in the colloquial speech of young people. This word is no longer just slang. It has become part of the lexicon, expressing appreciation for what inspires and impresses.
