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.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."REAL MEN are conservative."
"The environment? The environment is for fuckin' pussies."
"It outrages me when the Left gets outraged. Bunch of nutcases!"
"The Russia investigation is a witch hunt! Also, Hillary Clinton practices black magic and her father is bin Laden!"
"Putin is an American hero!"
"The government did 9/11, not the global terrorist organisation that hates the America and the West and claimed responsibility, and continued to carry out attacks all over the world until the rise of its successor Islamic State which continues to try to attack the West."
"The Earth is flat because aliens and NASA and the US education system failed me."
"I don't have any real ideological stance, I just agree with anything Trump says because I don't actually have any morals."
"I hate Jews but I hate Muslims even more so I won't say anything about how the US helps Israel. That being said I will happily drive over holocaust tombstones with my pickup truck given the opportunity."
"I'd rather have my deep-seated atavistic fears and urges govern who I elect than rational thought because intelligence is for libtard cucks."
"Anything other than conventional masculinity sends me into an existential crisis."
"Molesting kids is fine. Just don't use a private email server. Or be a Democrat."
"I TOTALLY respect Martin Luther King for all that he did."
"Obama eats children alive!"
"How dare you call Hitler a Nazi!"

Get the The Right 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.A word we’ve somehow allowed to become an acceptable synonym for “woman”/“girl.” Also spelled “ho.”
Also, a prostitute or promiscuous woman.

Get the Hoe mug.A forum where disenchanted, mostly mentally ill teens are inducted into a wildly un-idealistic, nihilistic and misanthropic form of the hard Right, which mainly exists to sow discord.
The main unifying feature of its users seems to be a hatred and intolerance of the Left, rather than any meaningful or constructive ideology, meaning that therefore adherents must simply disagree with the Left and not much more (beside generally behave abhorrently).
We can thank the site for such wonderful terms as "normies" and "cucks," which serve to unhelpfully label progressives, and for normalising the ultra-Right.

Get the 4chan mug."How dare you call Hitler a Nazi! Slander!"
The rebranding of a bunch of loosely-collected quasi-fascists who share a bitter hatred of the Left and a generally misanthropic, nihilistic outlook (that is, towards anyone that isn't them). Their ideology is usually vague, though they all have a dislike of intelligence, tolerance and femininity - and democracy, of course.
The Alt Right's ranks are full of under-educated white men who transform their inner insecurities into rage, and that rage into misguided spite. The two main subsections are the autistic 4chan keyboard warriors (you'll hear them use the word soy boy even though they probably only leave their bedrooms once a week), and the tiki torch marchers, who have been known to use their feet to walk. They also murder people from time to time.
It's an unholy combination of the bullied kids at school who are only a few steps away from shooting it up, and the old-school neo-Nazi youths (also bullied at school), some of whom are now actually fully-grown adults.
