It’s basically a cross between tennis and ping pong. The court is smaller, you play with a whiffle-ball type ball and hard paddle. There’s a spot right by the net called the “kitchen” where you can’t stand in while you volley.
It’s honestly just a fun game. It’s easier to pick up than tennis, and it’s more fun to play doubles. It’s also a little less physically taxing, it’s a really nice level of activity. Give it a shot sometime.
Call it whatever you want, it’s just an enjoyable new sport that a lot of people like. I’ll never get why people feel superior about not liking something that other people like.
I’d pickleball just a stupid version of badminton? Or tennis? That’s what it looks like.

IMO it’s tennis for Boomers who can’t hack tennis anymore.
