Trashcan Invite

Last minute invitation to a dinner, event or meeting. As in the same day, 30 minutes Or less prior to start time or as the person is walking into said event. As I was dropping my tickets into the trash can, I thought of you.

House Inviter

Someone who gives the pretence of being sociable like "yeah I'm up for meeting up, come over to my place and I'll order some drinks/food in here, can chill" but in reality are too fucking lazy to go to the pub/bar/club/restaurant.

They put forward the pretence of hospitality and sociable behaviour but it's just because they are lazy as shit.
ME: "yo, we still down for meeting up? can head to the The Prince and watch the football?"

House Inviter: "could do, could do, or you could come over here to watch it? I've got some beers and we can order some food in. Way more chill."

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
