A Mood definition: what "A Mood" means and examples

February 9, 2026

A term used to describe something that is highly relatable to one's current state of mind.

When someone says something is "a mood," they are saying "I feel exactly the same way." It could be a photo of a grumpy cat, a video of someone being clumsy, or a song about being tired. It’s a way of finding common ground through shared feelings, usually involving humour or minor daily struggles.

Examples:

  1. "That video of the toddler refusing to get out of bed is such a mood."
  2. "Eating a whole tub of ice cream in the bath? Honestly, a mood."
  3. "I’m just staring at my homework and doing nothing." "That’s a mood."

“He couldn't access restricted material and it wasn't even coming up for him due to the settings. It gave me a peace of mind as I can't police him all the time with the phone.”
