Don't worry about appearing edgy or cringe and write what you want to write. Don't consciously try to shock or offend people, but don't hold yourself back either.
Edge isn't necessarily a bad thing, only when there's too much of it.
And you first need to get out of the self-conscious mindset and just write. You can often read the author when reading his words, and that's why Marvel dialogue is so bad - it's made by timid, self-conscious losers with huge inferiority-complexes, so everything they write is covered in a veil of irony. Because they're afraid of making something genuine.
Also use pseudo-comunicative language and fuzzy logic, like "making ideas emerge from people" "voluntary enslavement" "liberalism through responsability". You get the idea?
Read a book by Bakker and some book by Pahlaniuk. Then try not to do what they did. You’l learn by knowing what NOT to do

By being authentic. Protip: if you're asking how to do X without appearing Y, you're not being authentic.
Yeah, edge is a blend of ''in the eye of the beholder'' and purposeful intent to create shock without value.
Use a frame character.
If you approach it like it's something usual or natural, it is probably the best approach to maximize shock

Knowing that there are no dark themes, no villains, and no good and evil
Dark and stark is better than dark just to be dark.
True Crime. As themes go, it's first world as it goes.
Useless advice posted so far, disappointing
By being extremely dogmatic and self-referential. It worked for most idealists
