Tieringuppien

Tieringuppien is a term used to describe a specific type of online community or social group. The word itself is a portmanteau, combining "tiering" and "groupies." Tiering refers to a hierarchical system, often seen in online gaming or competitive activities, where individuals are ranked or categorized based on skill, status, or contribution. Groupies, in this context, are individuals who actively follow, support, or are strongly associated with a particular tier or group.

Therefore, tieringuppien signifies a group of people who are collectively dedicated to a specific level or segment within a hierarchical structure. This can manifest in various online spaces, such as gaming communities where players might form groups around a particular skill tier, or fan communities where individuals might align themselves with a specific perceived level of dedication or influence within the fandom. The focus is on the shared identity and affiliation with a recognized tier, often involving mutual support, shared goals, or a collective sense of belonging. Understanding tieringuppien requires recognizing the underlying hierarchical organization and the group's active participation within it.
