buzzband 

A certain type of musical artist oriented toward "hipsters" and those who love them. This term was largely coined by the blog Hipster Runoff and then co-opted into the music blogosphere. These bands tend to attract a huge amount of hype, most importantly from Pitchfork leading up to their debut album, or in some cases, their second album that is supposed to represent a major advance on the first. Then, Pitchfork gives them a 9.1 or whatever and everyone flips out, and the "buzzband" becomes, at least, just another band.

Recent examples of buzzbands include Tapes 'n' Tapes, Grimes, Vampire Weekend, The xx, Cults, Fleet Foxes, and most recently, CHVRCHES.
Pitchfork is really hyping the latest buzzband's new album by positively reviewing all of their singles and posting multiple music videos.

Buzzcation 

A period of suspension from any responsibilities for those who can't afford a real vacation and would rather drink to get away from their responsibilities. Typically leads to more wild and forgettable moments than a staycation.
"You wanna meet at the bar after work?"

"Yeah. I'm broke, I'm tired - I need a buzzcation now."

BuzzBall 

An inexpensive, single-serving premixed ready-to-drink cocktail made of low-quality liquor, fruit juice, sugar, flavorings, and artificial colors. These drinks are notorious for causing extreme hangovers.
I am so hungover from drinking 10 BuzzBall drinks.

Buzzfatigue 

To be sick and tired of the never ending lists of useless information on Buzzfeed.

A Buzzcat is someone who interferes where they shouldn't, like putting their nose in where it is not wanted. It can also be used for someone who turns up at an event with being invited.
I went to Dave's party last night and that Buzzcat Fred turned up again. What a chief
Buzzcat by Threeamigosben May 6, 2006
Someone who can't help smoking lots of weed (or taking other recreational drugs for that matter), even when the situation isn't ideal.
"Will bruv, bill up. I want to get lean as a bean. "

"Ali. We're on the way to the police station cos you've just been mugged. I don't think bunning a zoot is wise, you god damn buzzcat. Afterwards perhaps."
