surface-rubbing

Surface rubbing can refer to:

1.) Copying somebody's music style; biting, but to a far larger extent - rather than replicating their style, like what happened to autotuning, the music sounds almost identical.

2.) Trying to replicate someone's way of life.

3.) Try to become a higher social status by replicating someone's behavior, thought to be edgy or cool.
Example for definition No. 1:

"Yo, bob! Did you see that? BigBoiDuck bit my rap style!"

"Nah, man! He just surface-rubbed you, his beat, voice, and even lyrics are nearly the same as yours."

"Shit, I need to sue him!"

Example for definition No. 2:

"Bro, I'm the only one in the universe who eats waffles upside-down."
"Not anymore. Penny Beanstock just surface-rubbed you, he eats waffles upside-down like you."
"Such a shovel."

Example for definition No. 3:

"That new guy at our carwash - Steffen Cockson - he's surface-rubbing me, don't you think?"
"Yeah, he used to be shy and now he's trying to be crazy like you! Totally surface-rubbing!"

Surfaceable

The quality of being easily surfaced or brought to the foreground.
Our company uses shared technical interfaces to make projects surfaceable across the organisation, making it easier for people to find information about projects outside their immediate team.

Surface wholesome image

Someone with a darker side you cannot detect, because they're always trying to get everyone to show their brighter, positive side.
She denies having any darker, negative feelings because with her surface wholesome image, she wants the world to think she is lighting up the world around her, even if everyone continues to turn on each other, and things continue to get worse every time they change, even if all her friends and family and everyone around her but her is dysfunctional and fucked up. The results of her behavior are all negative, but everyone is expected/forced to call it something positive like hope for her. There are some of us that just want to openly darken the world around us a little more without the pretense of doing anything good for anybody else, or helping/saving anybody else.

surface indie

Refers to the surface level of indie music, it is for people that have just left the loop of mainstream top 40 music because of tiktok. Surface indie music fans think high of themselves as they think their music is uNdErGrOuNd or deserves more attention. They mostly prefer listening to individual songs on their chill out/aesthetic/pov playlists over albums. When you ask them to name their favourite artists, they can throw out a bunch of names. But in reality, they only know a few songs from each of the artists.

Typical examples include:
Clairo, Wallows, The Neighbourhood, Arctic Monkeys, Mother Mother, Mitski, Cavetown, Gorillaz, chloe moriondo, Mac DeMarco, girl in red, Nirvana, Beach Bunny, Chase Alantic, Cage the Elephant, Conan Gray, IDKHBTFM, Cigarettes After Sex, Sasha Alex Sloan, Lovejoy, Joji, Cuco, Glass Animals, Wilbur Soot, The 1975, Jeremy Zucker
A conversation over a social media platform...
user 1: OMG bestie! your music taste is exactly the same as mine MARRY ME
user 2: mitski lmao depressed sis

user 3: beach bunny is so underrated, glad someone finally appreciate their music
(woke) user 4: This is surface indie, stop acting surprised that someone is listening to these artists.

Surface Pressuring
