Algofication
Algofication refers to the rather increasingly audience-confusing influence and applications of algorithms in various aspects of life, society, and industry.
The Algofication of the net was slow yet somewhat obvious even to tons of normies towards the early 2010s.

Krass
Krass is a German slang word referring to the intense aura farming awesomeness of Kinnikuman Phoenix, Itachi Uchiha and Roronoa Zoro amongst other Shonen Jump hotties.
Krass may as well be the best word to describe how ironically incredible a Menace Stu like Tarzan or Luffy can really be.

Uncreativity
Uncreativity is what happens when the relentless quest for innovation can go way too far, but otherwise in a well meaning way.
The concept of Uncreativity proposed by Chris Bilton (Citation2015) highlights a crucial counterbalance in the creative process, challenging the preeminence of novelty by emphasizing the refinement and valuation of existing ideas. He articulates ‘uncreativity’ as a force that provides stability, asserting it ‘provides a necessary ballast’ against the relentless quest for innovation.

Space Battleship Yamato
Space Battleship Yamato is a highly influential sci fi franchise co-created by the late Leiji Matsumoto.

Mainstream Menace
A Mainstream Menace is someone who out trounces his more talented fellows and still ensures that what we consider mainstream is rather subjective.
Akiyuki Shinbo has become a long term Mainstream Menace by having redefined both anime and Japanese meme culture from the 1980s to the 2020s, partly thanks to his wildly excessive use of Wakame Shadows from early in his career.
