Vernacular colonialism

The process through which black slang and vernacular is co opted to become part of "internet culture". Terms like "simp" "woke" and "lit" that have been used for years in the black community and black Twitter become mainstream, leading white people to think the terms belong to them, ignorant of their origins.

Colonial Marine Syndrome [CMS]

A thought process held by many film and game producers and makers, in which they want the new product to be like a prexisting product in the thought that it will make the product sell by principle. This rarely works and almost always kills the product from the start. The term comes from the video game "Aliens: Colonial Marines" in which the producers and makers wanted to make a call of duty game with the alien franchise
J: Hey did you hear about the new monster hunter movie?

L: The, WHAT, Oh man i love that game I wonder what its about
J: The description said it was about a military squad that discover a new world that evil monsters are trying to get to the normal world and take over
L: That honestly just sounds like Pacific rim with a monster hunter coat of paint
J: Oh than its a case of Colonial Marine Syndrome CMS
L: Uh, YEAH

Social Media Super-Colonies

Social Media Super-Colonies is taken from the Argentine Ants in California that have created a colony which spreads hundreds of miles and contains billions of ants hence the Super part of the phrase.

Ants are the most social insects inviting and joining communities within their colonies. The same way that social media works when going viral.

Social Media Super-Colonies refers to inviting people to connect and join online communities which anyone can be part of, however as with any colony they have a defence barrier when it comes to other colonies.
A prime example would be Apple Inc. Apple have created a Social Media Super-Colonies which have the entire world connected. It also has large competitors which they continually put a defensive barrier up and compete to be the best.
