You’ll hear "type shi" in casual, peer-to-peer conversations where people discuss trends, products, and personal interests. It might appear in a friend’s comment on your Instagram post: "That jacket is type shi!" Or maybe in a group chat when someone shares a playlist, and the response comes back: "This is the type shi I’m into." It’s most at home in informal environments—social media threads, text exchanges, or casual hangouts—where participants share tastes and recommend things to one another. The phrase thrives on authenticity and relatability, so it doesn’t fit well in formal contexts, but rather in scenes where personal preference and style are front and center.
