highkey

Not at all subtle

Highkey is slang meaning intensely, openly, or without reservation—the opposite of lowkey.

Where lowkey suggests something subtle or understated, highkey emphasizes full commitment or obvious intensity: I'm highkey obsessed with this song, That was highkey the best meal I've ever had.
