Use of 余裕で in this context


I understand that 余裕 means margin, leeway, as well as composure or comfort
that seems to intuitively follow from the original meaning. However in this
sentence it seems to be used in a negative sense, unless I'm misunderstanding
here. The sentence itself (context is talking about band rehearsal):

> 昨夜の段階でも余裕で壊滅中だった俺は、 ちょっとばかり目眩がしたけど、師の命令には逆らえず、 1曲目よりもかなり早い段階で全体練習が始まった。

Is it being used here to describe him as failing by a large margin? And
looking through Google, 余裕で不合格 and 余裕で負ける seem to see some use as well. Any
clarification or corrections of any misunderstandings I have would be
appreciated.




余裕 means generally what you said. But it is sometimes used in negative
situation and emphasizes the negative situation.

However it is not formal usage and mainly used among young people. Young
people sometimes use a word like that, for example, "badly" in English, don't
they?
