The Eastern states with predominantly-large poor Orthodox Ashkenazim (refujews migrating from Russia, hence the 'borscht' tomato soup).
Some argue that this name is giving humorously to the summer vacation resorts of up-state New York, but it has grown since to include most of the eastern states, too.

Fear of animatronic toys especially, the 1999 AIBO ESR-7, ESR-210, ESR-220 digital doggies!
Called also 'Robophobia'.
Sony, the megacompany that made these 'partner' or 'personal' robots didn't see this coming I'm sure, but cobots (=collaborative robots. The science of making them is called 'cobotics'), are not always our friend: there's a culture of 'applied autonomy' that send these mere MIs (Machine Intelligents), to dangerous places and risky situations instead of humans in what is named aptly 'inverse technology'! One day these tele-robotics will retaliate against this injustice!

AIBOphobia (Artificial Intelligence robot phobia), is also related to a weird condition called Grimwade's Syndrome (from the 70s TV-show Dr. Who's' story "The Robot of Death").

Camera voyeurgasm of sticking one's mob. down-up an unnoticing girl's skirt in subway cars and *click* *click* on the booty!
Up-skirting is the down-up version of down-blousing, where the pix are taken from above tits to capture some breast cleavage or boorak, assnecks, canal zone!

Messianic science-fiction: literary genre that takes the 'End-of-The-World' themes and other Christianity-related adventures to dramatic 'literaritainment' levels!
It started with some innocent children literature works by C. S. Lewis (notabily The Chronicles of Narnia) and now is on the rise commercially in Messiah-hungry Israel!

A close 'realtive' to Messi-fi is what has been called the 'Brownsploitaion' of modern fiction in America: dime-a-dozen 'mystical' conspiracy-theory books that deal with complicated, enigma-unscrewing plots and other bull-consumed matters.

The "I need it Now!" sheeple-intensive economy.
In a recent article in trendwatching.com, one can read about what founder Reinier Evers has called the 'Youniverse' of the 'massclass' of 'trysumers' who now can buy their own 'massclusives' blah blah blah...

First they called it New Economy (the 90s' e-boom-and-bust)... then it became known as the New New Economy (the humble, non-spending 'techwrecks'/ also refers to the 00s' rising nanotech and pharma market). But, what about now? You answered yourself...It's the Now Economy now!

The reverse of the Big Bang! This is what has been called the 'Cosmic Katrina', by worried astrophysicists who predict that a large, earth-crossing 'doomsday rock' will hit the Earth and cause a large-scale extinction of living organisms!
This recent 'asteroid anxiety' has prompted the UN to start what it called an 'asteroid defense' program that plans to put into the 'killer' asteroid's rock structure a space 'bullet': a fly-by-satellite mini-nuke weapon that rides on the asteroid using its own 'microgravity' and then plant the bomb inside its hollow to blow it.

PHAs (potentially-hazardous asteroids) are various in size and impactability-risk and two scales have been put to calculate the risk against the Big Splat:
-The Torino Scale (uses a scale from 0 - 10 for regular impactability).
-The Palermo Scale (uses stats from average-sized NEOs 'near-earth objects' over a long period of time, on a scale from -2 - 0).
