Forced Mediocrity 

Forced mediocrity refers to a situation where individuals who are not highly intelligent or talented are forced to conform to more articulate belief systems due to the pressures of increased intelligent systems.

In a high-stakes job interview, a candidate who is not highly intelligent may feel forced to use more complex language and ideas in order to appear more competent and impress the interviewer. This is an example of forced mediocrity, where the candidate is compelled to conform to a more articulate belief system due to the pressure of increased intelligence in the workplace.

adult onset mediocrity

Adult onset mediocrity is when an otherwise high achieving youth finishes their schooling and slumps into a average or low achieving adult life.

Remember my friend from high school who went to the international science fair, got really good grades, and went to the polytechnic school for college? Yeah, all he does now is post angry stuff on Facebook, play video games, and dick around at work now. Dude's got adult onset mediocrity.

Mediocity 

Mat "Pookie" Swingle's favorite "word", which in fact isn't a word at all. It was just mediocrity misspelled on a Panda Express fortune cookie that Mat found when he was 12.

Mat showed me the fortune cookie paper while we were hanging out one day. It said, and I quote, " Be broke or be wealthy, but never accept mediocity."

Midiocrity 

Archaic midi composed songs which though better than novice; ultimately fail at capturing the Stock, Aitken, Waterman formula properly.

The elusive producers newest vaporwave album is a botched dive into midiocrity.
