It seems that "low-key" is now an adverb meaning "secretly" and/or "discreetly". —suzukaze (t・c) 05:40, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably ask the people who use it themselves what it means; "lowkey" and "highkey" are both regularly used (informally) as adverbs that mean something like "kinda" and "very" respectively, although it's hard to exactly pinpoint the definitions because it feels like they have unique nuances that are hard to describe. I do think their definitions need to be in here because they're pretty widely used by now (I'm not English but even my friends who don't really get most of that online lingo understand what I mean when I say "lowkey" for example). 213.93.235.163 14:46, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
