3. In reference to the Walmart Effect where the presence or introduction of a large business like Walmart has a notable economic impact (especially in a negative sense) on the businesses in its area.

The hipster was annoyed by the Walmartification of his formerly totally hip town; chockful of niche grocery stores. Now with the town's niche grocery stores supplanted by Walmart; making his town have a full-on bland grocery situation.

Radical Subjectivity

The state of unreservedly favoring a one's feelings as the cardinal factor in determining the validity of something instead of observation or reasoning.
I never thought it would become trendy for one's feelings to become the most important part of an explanation for a phenomenon. Methought that one's feelings would more likely be more of a peripheral matter in regards to explaining a phenomenon. I suppose those who prefer radical subjectivity think of my preference for observation & reasoning to be unsympathetic.
