raddest

Extremely hip, slang

Raddest is the superlative of rad, meaning the most radical or coolest.

Rad emerged from 1980s surfer and skater slang, and raddest retains that casual, enthusiastic tone: That was the raddest concert I've ever been to.

The word sounds dated to some ears but remains in use, especially among those nostalgic for its era.
