Progressophobia 

"That’s the phrase coined by Steven Pinker to describe a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress... It’s like situational blindness, only what you can’t see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War.” - Comedian Bill Maher
“If you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote, and more homophobic than when blow jobs were a felony, you have Progressophobia and you should adjust your mask because its covering your eyes." - Comedian Bill Maher

"...saying White Power and privilege is at an all-time high, is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK road unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s, when the Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn't stay in the same hotel as the white people they were working with? Higher than during Slavery? And I mean actual Slavery, not Prince doesn't like his contract Slavery." - Comedian Bill Maher

The Epic Chord Progression

The same four chords used in nearly every hit song which could be defined as "epic". Many people are fooled by the various transpositions, but its all the same stuff. The most popular progression of course being Em, C, G, D (just one example). Please note, the progression can start on any one of the chords, but it will include the other three invariably.
(First noted by a pair of absurdly innovative Oregon high school students).
Musically Uninformed Person:
"OMG! I love Owl City, they talk to my core being and are soooo origional!1!!!"

Musically Informed Person:
"You're a bitch slave to the music industry"

Record Executive:
"Well Jim, we found this new hot young singer who dresses really fuckin' weird like, so they're gonna love her, but she can't write music for shit!"
Co-Conspiring Producer:
"Well that's no problem! Just throw the epic chord progression at 'em with an edgy music video and they'll eat it right up!"

bored progression 

n. The process by which one ends up browsing various Wikipedia articles or Youtube videos that are of little or no interest but seemed like they might be interesting at the time. It's likely you'll end up on something totally irrelevant and forget what you were supposed to be doing.

Clearly, the expression is a pun on the musical term "chord progression".
My assignment was on the European Union but after a bored progression I ended up learning about flying lizards
