greenhop

A greenhop is a big change from something old and boring to something new and fresh. Used in a career change, fashion and social situations.

Based on the expression "to be green" meaning inexperienced and is rooted in the concept that new shoots and sprouts are green, symbolising new growth and opportunities.

Greenhopper can refer to a person who is entering a new industry, but has trained and worked in another. It can also refer to someone having a glow-up or style makeover.
"This industry isn't lighting me up anymore - I'm doing a greenhop."
