So?

Cannot wait for Charli XCX to go back in there after BRAT

[Space Cowboy]

I hate Zoomer cringe slang

[BlahBlahBlah]

I feel like it was originally intended to mean an artist that has been around forever with like no hits but large enough to have a cult fanbase like Madison Beer or Sabrina formerly, or an artist that had one minor hit forever ago (like a DJ collab or a feature) and they weren't really necessarily the reason for its success like Bebe or Rita. 

 

A former A-lister now serving flop energy is kind of its own thing.

Gracie being half out of it in the pic, security!

That article beats around the bush.

 

It refers directly to Khia from My Neck My Back. She drags everyone's fave so the fans retaliate by making her name synonymous with an irrelevant flop / hasbeen. 

[Riverbank]

Katy has been locked in the khia asylum since 2017 with no possibility of parole

 

Dua had a temporary stay but her permanent membership is being processed

 

There was a error in the system recently, which allowed Gracie to escape the asylum. She is expected to return there very soon

@unclefloprry don't make that face

Her legal guardian, Taylor Swift, is pushing very heavily for Gracie to have complete freedom from the Asylum.

It used to refer to someone or something being insignificant or irrelevant. The meaning has slightly changed and nowadays it has just become a synonym for 'flop' or 'hasbeen'

[JustHoran]

I just thought of it as a flop since everyone's talking about one hit wonder Khia

[theweekend]

the picture serving atrl memes lmaooooooo which atrl did that??

[Dante Silva]

So, is it safe to say Addison Rae is a Khia?

She struggles to sell out joint arenas, so I guess she's still there 

[UnusualBoy]

I thought a khia was basically someone who only had 1 hit or never score one but stays trying. Katy has 9 #1 hits, be serious...
