A category that references what is left after a shitpost. Mening a text that is influenced by and has all the trappings of a shitpost: camp, kitsch, blown out aesthetics and clearly delirious plot or premises, but that takes out all of the levity associated with it, instead, we are meant to take it seriously and even dourly, instead of laughing along with it. Authorial intent bears some relevance to the proper application of this category, meaning that it is necessary for the author of the work to have imbued the text with these qualities, rather than their presence being unintentional (e.g. The Room)
Some precursors of the genre might be, as works bearing very little verisimilitude and over the top aesthetically, which present themselves as earnest works:
- Collapse, by nick land
- Unknown death 2002, by yung lean

"Have you heard Brat, by Charli XCX? I saw the cover art and thought it was a shitpost, but then all of the songs, even though they bear a lot of resemblance with the aesthetics of rave culture shitpost memes, are really earsnest, come even deep and moving."
"yeah man, thats because it's not a shit post, it's post-shit"

A post on a social media thread, or private conversation, in which the person posting satirizes common elements of other people's posts by making it too weird or outlandish to be serious.
This can be overt, or subtle, but the highest quality roast post tricks you into believing it might be a real post before the roast becomes clear.

A Roast Post In the context of a work sack channel on a day that an important report is due:
"Did everyone get a chance to checkout the TPS report?"
- TPS report being a reference to the meaningless reports the characters in Office Space were forced to file

Refers to da hearty/relieved palms-slap dat two laborers exchange when a device actually operates properly again after they've been feverishly/trepidatiously working to repair it.
My buddy and I had thoroughly cleaned the battery-terminals on my car, topped off the water in the battery's cells and wire-brushed its posts, and then carefully re-connected everything again; we totally gave each other a post-repair high-five afterwards when the engine whirled right over.

Post Harry Potter Sadness (also abbreviated as 'PHPT') is a mental condition where once an individual finishes watching/reading Harry Potter, they realize that the ships in Harry Potter are not together in real life and magic is non-existent as well since (almost) everything is scientific. Reportedly 95% of the people have this after finishing the series. Many try doing magic themselves, but doing so only disappoints them. PHPT can be temporary or everlasting. (PHPT occurs commonly in females on the realization that they cannot date 'Draco Malfoy')
"I just finished Harry Potter!"
"Oh, you'll have PHPT soon just like we all did."
"What's that?"
"Post Harry Potter Trauma."
"Oh."
