He’s low-key cute
I’m low-key kind of stressed out
Low-key it’s kind of a good idea
Low-key I kind of want McDonalds right now
I think we sort of use it to admit some opinion that we don’t really want to admit openly or might be different from what other people are thinking or seem to be feeling.
For example, you’re not sure if other people think he’s cute, but you actually think so, so when you tell someone you might say “he’s low-key cute“
No one else seems stressed out, but you are, so you can say “I’m low-key stressed out”
However, this idea is not a rule per-se. It’s more just a general feeling I get when I hear the word.
Actually, I don’t use this word, but some people do. It depends on the person

@fukutaka @Larry_Chan 、this is the original use of the word. It’s still used.
My examples are a modern use of the word. It’s used especially by young people

@masterstealth11 Thank you. I wasn't aware of that usage. I felt like I learned something today.
