The ability to abstain from watching YouTube during flights as you must put your smartphone (and tablet) on flight mode whilst still being unable to abstain from watching YouTube outside flights.
Every time I board a plane, I experience serious Flight Mode FOMO, knowing I can't watch my favorite YouTube videos while still scrolling through my playlist for hours after landing.

So much fear of missing out. the next level of FOMO. When you aren't just having FOMO you're having way more.
SOMO is a contraction of So Much, but not using the first two letters of both words. Mo is used to mean much, but the o is added to make it rhyme and fit with the FOMO format.

People influenced by social media influencers who descend on once quaint and undiscovered places like a swarm of locusts and ruin everything that made it special to begin with
Wow - Puglia was such a great place to visit. Now it’s just overrun with people more focused on producing content for their social media feeds than actually enjoying it.
Yep - fucking FOMO Lice.
