Self-empowerment

A cultural value indicative of 21st Century societies, especially amongst First World societies.

Self-empowerment promotes the individual's pleasures and comforts as the ultimate goal to life or 'key' to happiness, encouraging behavior that satisfies one's ego and bodily pleasures.

Ironically, in the long-term, this mentality is counterintuitive, as it creates a society of narcissism, self-indulgence and self-glorification.

condescending, self-regarding, celebrity-in-the-making musician act

An extremely annoying but relatively common theatrical routine performed by certain types of local hipster musicians that seems to come easily, requiring little rehearsal in advance. While all creative people are understandably prone to a certain degree of self-absorption, these individuals are forever engaged in obnoxious self-promotion campaigns, celebrating their musical endeavors in a manner designed to give the impression that they are infinitely more successful, talented, and adored than the everyday, basically unknown “artist.” Recurring themes include: stating that they could—but won’t—drop names (and then dropping them), backhandedly complimenting your own efforts (with a smirk), and offering to do everyone a favor by playing their latest “demo” at parties. As with all such routines, the ‘condescending, self-regarding, celebrity-in-the-making musician act’ is nothing more than a sad attempt at obscuring the truth (which is that they have cushy but unfulfilling day jobs), as well as an opportunity to wear those gay fedoras.

Dude #1: Are you going to Dan's tonight?

Dude #2: I’ll pass. I need a break from his condescending, self-regarding, celebrity-in-the-making musician act.

self care

When millennial women choose to ignore all of the tasks they need to accomplish in favor of screwing over their coworkers, doing culturally-appropriative meditation rituals, and drinking La Croix water. Can also involve rubbing ungodly amounts of coconut oil over their skin and listening to vaporwave music while planning an outing to a gentrified book store or record shop.

"Why did you call into work sick 15 minutes before your shift started?"
"Oh, I was practicing self care."
