keysmash

What does keysmash mean?

What you type when actual words fail. Slamming the keyboard to show you are too feral, too obsessed, too floored to form a sentence. The chaos itself is the message.

"The trailer dropped and my whole timeline is just keysmash."

Origin

Tumblr fandom culture, late 2000s/early 2010s. The classic 'asdfghjkl' is just the home row mashed.
