"Can you freestyle?" has become an extremely popular phrase on China's social network thanks to Chinese pop singer and actor Kris Wu.
Wu, 27, recently appeared on the reality TV show The Rap of China as a judge.
Each time Wu had to choose the winner, he had just one question for the contestants:"Can you freestyle?"
"the pop star's humorous catchphrase(流行语)was quickly adopted by Chinese netizens. Many began to follow him and use "freestyle" wildly on social media platforms like WeChat and Sina Weibo.
According to the Oxford Dictionary and Wikipedia, "freestyle" refers to a style of improvisation. Since the early 1990s, "freestyle" has come to be the widely used term for rap lyrics which are improvised on the spot.
Now, "Do you have freestyle?" has developed into other meanings. Some Internet users even adapt the buzzword into a variety of emojis, further promoting the use of "freestyle".
At the same time, some Internet users have been inspired by the buzzword and consider it the new standard to live up to.
"From now on, I do not care about what others say about me, good or bad, positive(积极的)or negative(消极的).I am my own and enjoy my own freestyle," WeChat user Jiang Yuqiu wrote.
"I believe the essence of the buzzword is to go your own way regardless of what others say. When my idol Kris Wu first said it,many people ridiculed him and doubted his ability as a rapper. However, he later made an amazing performance to smash rumors(击破谣言)and prove his professional status as a rapper and a dedicated artist," Zheng Shaoqiu,one of Wu's fans declared.
