doom loop

A slang term used to describe when someone or something is plummeting and spiraling downward to the point of no return.

San Francisco has been recently noted to be entering what is seen by many as a “doom loop,” due to the high vacancy rates in offices and shops downtown post-COVID, increasing homelessness, open drug use, empty streets and rampant crime.

Artificial Trending Loop

When it appears that something is a trending topic on a blogging or social website for the sole reason that readers are posting messages asking why the topic is trending. Also when a legitimately trending topic continues to trend even after its topicality is lost because curious latecomers continue to relay it.

Why is Jar Jar Binks trending on Twitter? That movie was back in the late 90s!

Oh, look at all of these tweets asking why Jar Jar Binks is trending. He must be on an artificial trending loop.

hipster feedback loop

A phenomenon where a lack of originality or effort is perceived as creative and insightful for absolutely no reason, via the employment of hipster logic. This is usually observed when arguing with a contemporary author, artist, "thinker" etc. about the integrity of their work or the work of another. What's interesting is that any rebuttal made to the individual who is employing hipster logic will only reinforce that individual's standpoint, working toward the inevitable realization that other people just don't get it.

Joe: This is a toilet dude.

Hipster: You don't get it man, it's more than that.

Joe: Literally all that's here is a fucking toilet on a pedestal, this is not art.

Hipster: That's just the point the artist is trying to make, your ignorant confinement of 'art' is just a conformist attitude succumbing to the conceit of traditionalists. This artist is brilliantly fighting the status quo for a freer form of expression....

Joe: It's a fuckin toilet.

Hipster: Huh, you just don't get it, if you were able to get.....

Joe: Whoa whoa whoa, I see what's going on here, I've been trapped in a hipster feedback loop, and I'm getting out of here.

on a loop

A good idea repeated forever- on an endless loop - so as not to allow any other idea to intrude upon the intended impact of the original idea.

In front of an open fire at his secluded getaway, after an evening of cocktails and fancy hors d'oeuvres Jorge wanted to seduce Stephanie so he bolstered his ploy by playing their favorite songs on a loop.
