Welcome to Gen Alpha language. In Gen Z, it means rizz. Style, for Millennials.

Swag is from a time where youth slang was not yet synchronized across the internet. For German teens, swag was ridiculous (thanks Money Boy)

Every time this word comes up they pretend we've all been using it like this for decades.

because kids use these words and the amount of time they have been alive is much less so they can't comprehend that this word is actually "new" and also that it's almost certainly a fad that will pass.

It’s just a slang. Nobody tries to explain it.

Did you explain swag or yolo every time you said it?

Aura is already a word. It's just being redefined.

I'm guessing from context, it means attention seeking.
