Post-Apocalyptic Depression

The point at which one realizes, after giving away all personal possessions and saying goodbye to loved ones, that the world is in fact not over.

Jimmie: Feels bad man.

Post-Apocalyptic Currency

A Handjob.

Your birthday party wasn't a total loss; at least I got some post-apocalyptic currency.

Post-Apocalyptic empathy

When a person who has lived through a great number of hardships in life shows the appropriate amount of baseline empathy, but the empathetic expression is couched in a level of practicality, survival and utilitarianism.

Jean-Claude Van Damme did a great job at conveying post-apocalyptic empathy in the 1989 movie Cyborg. There are small moments where he conveys great emotional responses in only split second intervals because he's mostly having to continue kicking ass.

Symphonic Post-Apocalyptic Reindeer-Grinding Christ-Abusing Extreme War Pagan Fennoscandian metal

A subgenre of heavy metal taking inspiration from Symphonic Black Metal and features lyrics about life in Finland and the mistrust of Finnish Christianity, and glorifying the Warlike Pagan lifestyles of the neighboring countries' history. The lyrics focus on the solution to the mundane Finnish lifestyle being the Apocalypse. The only band that plays this currently is Impaled Rektum.

"You guys look like a weird heavy metal band"
"Yes, we are a band"
"Really? What do you play?"

Pre-Apocalyptic Phase

The phase of time before a predicted apocalypse when people don't spend any money or bother to do much, just in case there really is an apocalypse.

Mum: I'm just going to go out shopping. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Kid: Don't bother, there's an apocalypse due on Friday. You can shop on Saturday
Mum: But i need to get the Christmas chicken
Kid: SATURDAY

(Day after apocalypse)

Kid: Ok you can go now
Mum: Finally!
Dad: Don't blame him. It was just the Pre-Apocalyptic Phase. Don't want that money to go to waste!

para-apocalyptic

A situation created out of fear that the end is coming, when in all probability it isn't. Feeling equivalent to the apocalypse, while not actually being there.

Empty shelves, empty stores, empty restaurants and empty streets, 'it's para-apocalyptic', he thought.

Apocaloptimist

Someone who knows it's all going to shit, but still thinks it will turn out OK

"It" most commonly refers to the environment, or humanity, but could be other things as well.

Guy 1: "The envrionment is being degraded at an unparalled rate, we're literally destroying ourselves... but, it'll probably turn out OK. If we fail, the planet will likely heal itself in our abscence."

Guy 2: "Man, he's such an apocaloptimist."
