Someone who grew up primarily in the 1990s, or who has a fanatical attachment to that decade regardless of the fact they were born later. 90s kids and the "things they remember" are a popular subject for irritating Buzzfeed-esque pop culture lists extolling the virtues of that decade.

Get the 90s Kid mug.A year not yet over at the time of writing, but one that easily puts 2016 to shame. 2017 has been 10 months so far of face-palming Trump decisions, doom and gloom, depression, nuclear threats, a rising hard-Right, terror attacks, treason investigations, and really, really, shitty pop music. Like, really bad.
Now don't come to me complaining about the celebrities that died last year!
It's okay though. It's not the end of the world. It's just another year in the accelerating decline of it.

Get the 2017 mug.Use this in a definition for a word and everyone will downvote it. Using it labels you as an SJW which is, like, really bad. That being said it's correctly applied to a lot of things, like certain subsections of society.
Being called "sexist" is almost as offensive as being called "racist" to Right-wingers, which is funny considering it basically comes with the territory.

Get the Sexist mug.The reduction in the meaningfulness and relevance of individual controversies as they are swallowed in a sea of other concurrent controversies and outrage. Comparable to economic inflation.
A symptom of the Internet age and the neverending cycle of overreaction, bitterness and hostility. It is not necessarily entirely a reflection of the proliferation of controversy over minor events, given that the news is also filled with many shocking events of great magnitude. The fact that it is easy to forget what mind-numbingly stupid thing Donald Trump said two weeks ago is also a symptom of outrage inflation.

We'll all soon forget that time Trump nearly declared war by mistake thanks to outrage inflation and the 24-hour news cycle.

Get the Outrage Inflation mug.A band that is simultaneously over- and underrated. While their albums since 2011 have been mediocre and sold way too much, their early material (1998-2008) is unfairly hated upon, bringing us some brilliant, melodic and heartfelt alt-rock. Though some of this work is overrated (namely "Fix You"), it is just jam-packed with incredible songs. Below are a list of some underrated gems.
"Sparks", "High Speed" and just about anything that isn't "Yellow" from Parachutes (2000).
"Politik" and "Amsterdam" from A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002).
"X&Y" and "Twisted Logic" from X & Y (2005).
"Cemeteries of London," "Lovers in Japan" and "Violet Hill" from Viva la Vida (2008) - their best album.
"Another's Arms" from Ghost Stories (2014).
"For You," "Crests of Waves", "One I Love," "Life in Technicolor ii," "All Your Friends" and "All I Can Think About is You" from their EPs

Get the Coldplay mug."Isn't it ironic that the internet - that thing that contains almost all human knowledge - is somehow making us dumber?"

Get the Internet mug.When a society forgets the lessons from the past and becomes increasingly erratic, confused, and sometimes, aggressive and violent.
