Music to Invade Poland to

"Music to Invade Poland to" is a humorous term to describe music being accused of being Nazi music due to it being made in Germany. The term came from an infamous review of Rammstein's album "Mutter" in which someone accused it of being "Music to Invade Poland to" due to the aggressive German vocals.

Because of this accusation, it becomes really hard to talk about any German Metal let alone music made in Germany without people giving you weird looks. Even if you put on Schlager you'd get hit with the "That's Music To Invade Poland to!" accusation
Dumbfuck Critic: German classical music that sounds aggressive? That's music to invade poland to in my book!

Millennial Writing

Millennial Writing refers to a now-infamous writing style seen in blockbuster movies and certain video games characterized by a heavy amount of sarcastic quips (like "Well that just happened") undercutting tension, or alternatively socially awkward remarks like "Erm, did I just do that?", and of course cringey name drop pop culture references

The writing style was popularized by big names like Joss Whedon and James Gunn, who are both Gen-X, but it's called Millennial Writing since it caters to that geenration.

This writing style is often considered a symptom of Irony Poisoning and a fear of one's own movie or show being seen as corny, so they often resort to such extensive irony to shout at the audiences faces that they aren't being serious.

As for the case in video games, particularly in the "Did I Just Do That?" humor side of Millennial Writing, (Which can be referred to as "Type 2 Millennial Writing") we can blame shitty execs missing the point of why Wheatley in Portal 2 was so funny.

For easy reference, Type 1 Milennial writing is the stuff you see in Marvel movies, Type 2 Millennial Writing is the stuff you see with "quirky" video games
James: Dude, Forspoken was hot shit. That protagonist always went "Uhh, I just did something cool I think?" every damn time
Austin: That's Type-2 Millennial Writing for ya

Borderlands Syndrome

Borderlands Syndrome is a video game concept coined by youtuber "Some Nobody" in his video essay "The Dangers of Borderlands Syndrome"

Borderlands Syndrome is basically where a game series gets better in terms of gameplay each installment but worse in terms of writing. Named so because the Borderlands franchise is the main example, in that the first game had meh gameplay but a solid storyline, while 2 much improved on the gameplay but had corny ass humor and a predictable storyline carried by one character.

Borderlands 3 arguably had the biggest gameplay improvements but it featured even worse humor than 2 and had a downright insulting story.

Often times franchises with Borderlands Syndrome have writing so bad it takes you out of whatever fun you're having with the game
Tony: Yo Billy what do you think of Far Cry?
Billy: I think it started out solid in terms of writing but over time got a bad case of Borderlands Syndrome. Like you go from 3 having a pretty emotional story, 4 having a so so but kinda cool story, and 5 having some convoluted nihilistic nonsense story.

Death Metal

1: A genre of Extreme Metal characterized by heavily distorted down-tuned guitars, blast beat percussion, and guttural vocals, usually with lyrics and imagery involving gore and horror

2: A generic catch all termed used by fuckin' tourists and posers for any metal with loud screaming vocals even when it's not remotely close to Death Metal
Sally: Slipknot is such a good Death Metal band!

Peter: NO! Slipknot is not Death Metal you fuckin' poser! Get your ass back to Hot Topic!

Sausage Party

A mediocre adult animated comedy film that somehow became a punching bag of sorts on certain online circles, particularly deviantart and crappy youtube reviewers, where it's listed as one of the worst movies ever made along with Batman and Robin, Norm of The North, Foodfight, Fish N Chips, and even the Tom Cruise Mummy Movie.
Youtube Reviewer: SAUSAGE PARTY IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!

Deviantart User: THIS MOVIE SAUSAGE PARTY IS SO BAD I WOULD RATHER WATCH FOODFIGHT AND NORM OF THE NORTH!
Normal Person: Sausage Party wasn't that remarkable, why do people go crazy over it?

Fuckin' violent 80s action movie that's often used as a benchmark of exagerrated violence in cinema. If a movie is violent to the point crossing the line into comedy, it's equal to Robocop.
Mike: That new movie was gory as hell!
Tom: I agree, it's definitely equal to Robocop
