It is used very similarly to "terminally online," describing someone who spends an excessive amount of time on the internet to the point where it affects their behavior, vocabulary, or understanding of the real world. People typically use the term to call out someone who treats minor online drama as a major crisis, uses obscure memes in serious conversations, or assumes everyone follows the same niche trends. The term emerged in the late 2010s and early 2020s, with "chronically" suggesting a long term, almost addictive relationship with being online.
