The term "theorycel" is a portmanteau of "theory" and "incel". "Theory" refers to intellectual theories, while "incel" is short for "involuntarily celibate," used to describe individuals who feel unable to find romantic or sexual partners despite their desire for them. A theorycel, therefore, is a person obsessed with theory to the point that it interferes with their ability to form romantic/sexual relationships. Examples of this might be spending excessive amounts of time reading and discussing theory to the exclusion of other activities, or using theoretical frameworks to justify their lack of success in the dating world.
Theory may used as a crutch to explain their difficulties with dating, instead of taking responsibility for their own behavior, and leading to feelings of isolation and alienation. This can reinforce the cycle of becoming more and more entrenched in theory, as the individual feels that they have no other means of connecting with others.
Ultimately, being a theorycel is not a healthy or fulfilling way of life. While theories can be intellectually stimulating, they are not a substitute for real human connection and personal growth. It's important for individuals who find themselves becoming overly fixated on theory to seek out other interests and activities that can help them develop a more well-rounded perspective and form meaningful relationships with others.

Either way, as our theorycel friend Raymond Williams once said, when looking at culture we should focus on the specific and the everyday as opposed to theorizing upon the phenomena broadly, as this can be a more material portal to the universal anyway.

1. A concept from hustler culture that typically means to network with someone who can help you become more successful. You may be linking and building also by exchanging info and building out your network, adding someone on the social media site Linkedin, meeting with people to organize for social justice or community projects, or lastly, doing something with someone else in a social setting to gain more clout. NOTE: Sometimes for two people to "link" is used interchangeably with "link and build" but "link" is the more casual / informal version.
2. The term is also used ironically to talk about meeting friends, by meme pages to make fun of hustler culture, and by co-workers who are using the term to refer to doing something not related to work but with work friends. It is used in this way by in a satirical video by Cherdleys called "When the clout attacks," where they mention at some point that someone is going to "Link and Build."
