stairway humor

An ideal humorous retort that wasn’t said in the moment but has been devised after departure(up or down the stairs).
Have you had COVID?

No, but I was really sick before we knew about COVID.

Stairway humor(meaning after one has left the conversation and is rethinking a more humorous response): Hipster me- I think I had it when it no one knew about it. It was obscure then.

Clearly, anyone knows what this feels like and can produce an example. P.S. I heard about this once 2-4 years ago.

Gen X humor

Dark absurd humor that often leads to more psychological pain. Lots of action and terror. Perfect for the generation that gave us slackers, punks and heavy metal.

Eg. think of 80's and 90's movies like Die Hard, The Client, Predator, Alien, Dead Poet's society and more. Gen X definitely have a dark humor.

This is the case for Xennials even, eg. Don't hug me i'm scared, Final Destination, and more all got popular with them.
A good example of Gen X humor is Dead Poet's Society. Peak.

Shadow Humor

"Shadow Humor" Is when someone hides in the shadows of the phrase "Dark Humor" to openly hate on a specific kind of person or serious concept. For example, someone using shadow humor would frequently say things along the lines of "*insert specific kind of people* are so stupid. I could literally walk up to them and they would be *insert joke about common stereotype about said person* and then proceed to tell you your just too much of a snowflake to get dark humor. Someone who uses shadow humor also uses it for specific subjects pretty often.
Tyler: Haha dude watch me get sent to the principles office for slapping some girls wrist and saying "I like yuh cut g"
Kevin: That's the seventh joke you've made about people with problems like that today ... it's not even funny... there's no punchline you're just making fun of people who suffer from self-harm...
Tyler: Shut up Kevin! It's called 'Dark. Humour.' You're just too much of a snowflake to understand.
Kevin: That's not dark humor. You're using shadow humor. Stop using dark humor as an excuse to make fun of people with actual problems.
