Performance diminishing drug

The opposite of a performance enhancing drug, like marijuana.

That guy smoked pot before the race and raced like a turtle. It was a performance diminishing drug somebody on the other team told him would make him faster.

performance drive

It's like a sex drive, but for performances. One's engagement in performing.

BTS's Jungkook has a crazy performance drive. He's always dancing and singing like the rent is due.

Performative Male

A subgenre of "nice guys" that tries too hard to be in touch with their feminine side or pretends to like things like K-Pop, tote bags, reading, matcha, Laufey, or the like to improve their popularity with girls. This will often mean ditching their true selves to put up a facade for their partner 24/7 and may lead to strain in relationships when their partner learns that he was only acting in that manner to get some action.

Guy 1: "OMG, you wanna go to the salon and listen to Clairo later? We could go get matcha after that."

Guy 2: "mf didn't you cheat on your last girlfriend a week ago?? You're such a Performative Male."

performative cruelty

Putting on a show of belittling, bullying and/or humiliating someone outside of an in-group for the purposes of placating or entertaining those within the group. Usually done to present oneself as "badass" or "hardcore".

In an age of performative cruelty,

kindness is punk as fuck.
Be punk as fuck.
