You must be some kind of trivianado to do well on TV quiz shows, like Jeopardy.

Trivium Fan

Trivium fans are the best fans, they love headbang, chill and have a great time. There also probably a guitar player that loves early thrash such as Metallica and Slayer. You'll never meet a fan that is as open to your music as a Trivium fan. One way to hype-up a Trivium fan is to turn anything on from Ascendency, that shit slaps!
Trivium fan: You like Killswitch, check out this shit!
Turns on Like Light To Flies, too the max.

Trivia Night

A trivia night is a large group event, usually staged to benefit a charitable cause or organization.

During a trivia night, a master of ceremonies reads trivia questions split up into different categories or rounds. The questions are then answered by different groups of people in an audience. These groups, also known as "teams" or "tables," typically consist of six to 12 people who have paid an admission fee to participate. At the end of each round, a representative from each team turns in its answers to a panel of judges who then calculate the scores for each team. The teams compete against one another with the top two or three teams receiving prizes.

Trivia nights are held throughout the United States, but are particularly popular in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area, where upwards of 30 trivia nights occur on any given weekend.

Trivia Programmer

These programmers don't know actually how to write code from scratch or engineer anything; They watch youtube videos online on leetcode and the dry principle 100 times over. They can be intern vloggers, or some layed off PR intern from a big corporation. They commit to open source projects (documentation) and have a soft filter background pfp (With a bland tshirt, short hair or extremely long hair, it's binary; And talk in a very monotone soft voice). Their daily routine consists of waking up, reviewing all the trivia for their language, going into work and not being able to debug anything. However they can talk up a storm, just not actually be the engineers they're required to be. They job hop to the next job before anyone can figure out they actually don't know what they're doing. In meetings they will spit out all the trivia they know, keeping up the act long enough so the manager doesn't notice anything.
Person A: "You remember Jerry? On lunch yesterday he was talking about how he made project x and y in this framework, and how our systems can be completely re-written and improved within a month on this new cool framework he couldn't stop talking about"

Person B: "Oh yea I remember him, he seemed knowledgeable, he passed our medium and hard questions easily."

Person A: "Yea, haha thought the same thing. Turns out he just sat around doing leetcode all day, but I don't know if he even knows what a breakpoint is"

Person B: "His github was really nice!"

Person A: "Well he couldn't debug anything, I ended up doing all the work for him. I think he was just a Trivia Programmer"

Person B: "Really?"

Person A: "Yea he kept asking the same questions, didn't write anything down, never saw any improvements even though I was helping him. I think he just new a lot of trivia, but he can't code"

Person B: "Oh a Trivia Programmer"

Person A: "Yea, last I checked he's making lofi hiphop soft filter videos online about the dry principle. I don't think he applied it in any of his work"

Person B: "His latest video is 'Former Senior Startup Executive Developer Advice' and 'Doing Leetcode As An Intern'"
