American Derangement Syndrome

An irrational belief held by Americans that the U.S. is superior to other nations, particularly European countries, despite evidence of high crime rates and mass poverty levels, where 75+ million citizens cannot afford basic living costs like rent, groceries, healthcare, yet still defend the nation emotionally to save face and cope.

This can also apply to any western country with high cost of living that does not provide basic needs for its citizens such as Canada or the UK.

Pretender syndrome

When someone has no idea of how a subculture works and has no willingness to lurk but still pretends to know everything about said subculture. Commonly seen on various forums, large and small.

People with Pretender Syndrome have no will to assimilate to the forum culture and will instead attempt to force their own ideals onto the community. They will take basic surface level knowledge (ie memes) and spout them with very little knowledge of the memes themselves. Often completely misuse the memes as a result.
Attempts to name the jew will result in autistic screeching.

Girl, Interrupted Syndrome

Girl Interrupted Syndrome is the phenomenon of an angsty teen believing they are so incredibly unique and different, they find their depression to be cinematic in a
"starving artist" way and believe it makes them an interesting, nonchalant, effortless cool girl. Those who suffer from Girl Interrupted Syndrome may find themselves engaging in the listening of Fiona Apple, Duster, and Have a Nice Life while also attempting to pick up any hobby or new interest that will make them seem so esoteric and Manic Pixie Dream Girl -esque. Girl Interrupted Syndrome victims may find themselves to be infatuated with the arts and chase after people who are the same as them. The constant attempt to be so different may also lead to those with this syndrome to participate in cigarette smoking, accentuating their eye bags using eyeshadow, only using 35mm film for pictures, and desperately trying to appear quiet and mysterious. They are also mostly self-righteous philosophy freaks who find themself to be more well-rounded than everyone around them.
