Other people pretty much covered it but I just wanted to add that describing something as "lowkey" is slang so it's not a very formal word (and some older people may not understand it haha)

withlovekris · Answer

Low key is like a slang being like secret and subtle. Usually people use it describe something that not many people know, or something that the person you are talking about doesn't know. Example:
I LOWKEY like him. Meaning I like him but he doesn't know or I secretly like him.

lowkey is a slang term for subtle.
for example:
‘I’m lowkey angry.’  
I’m saying I’m angry even though I’m not showing it with my actions or facial expressions.

Kyler_Jackson · Answer

It means not to brag, boast or make a point so that everyone hears something. Opposite of big deal.

glassbreakerart · Answer

I would have to agree with those saying it means most along the line of "sort of"

like "I'm lowkey hungry"

it can also imply that whatever is about to be done or said is something few people know.

like "I'm about to lowkey hit up this Taco Bell"

or

"lowkey though, she likes you

honestly "lowkey" is fairly new slang. I  don't use it but, my siblings do all the time.

ZombieTaco · Answer

It means subtle or not overt:

“That movie was lowkey awesome” could mean the movie looked like it wouldn’t be very good or that it would be bad, but it was actually really really good.

This could also mean that the REASON it was awesome was subtle meaning most people would not have noticed.

Marshall_Graves · Answer

low key means that something is not serious or something is only kind of something else. It can also mean something is like something but is also “lowkey” something else which is sometimes the opposite

The party is low key

It is lowkey boring

The music is good but lowkey not what I am trying to listen to.

@AnastasiaSizova i wouldn’t exact say sort of, i would say more not obvious, like if you are lowkey mad at something, you aren’t being obvious about it but you yourself know you are realizing that you are mad at it.

Sofixario13 · Answer

@AnastasiaSizova low key can also mean to specify something is true. e.g I lowkey really liked that cake that the others didn't like last night.

IMotioNI · Answer

@AnastasiaSizova it's an expression. Another similar expression is "keeping a low profile" and "stay under the radar".  All these Expressions basically means that someone is trying not to stand out or become noticeable. If you want to blend in with the crowd you will keep a low profile or remain low-key so that no one can actually identify you easily. staying under the radar is pretty self-explanatory if you're under the radar means you don't not show up in somebody's view that's basically what low-key means.

IMotioNI · Answer

@awesomebabs I would have to slightly disagree. Keeping the Nuance of what low-key means in regards to a party would be keeping the information(party details) with in a small group of people. As in not broadcasting the party on the net or on the radio Etc. Your party can be loud as long as it is not noticeable by others. You can have a low-key party out in the countryside meaning no one knows about your party but you can blast music all you want and no one will hear you at the barn.

to have a party that you don't want anyone to know about in an apartment building, keeping it low-key, would require you to keep the noise down. That's the instance where low-key can work for you at a party.

bottom line, keeping it low-key just means avoiding being noticed. You can be noisy as long as you're not noticed.
