Someone, middle aged, who changes their blog/chat/screen/etc... names, for no other reason other than, they are suffering Midlife Crisis, offline, which has spilled into their online world. I was studying this, AND, knowing this guy from chatting with him for years, I have determined (and coined a new phrase in doing so,) that dude is suffering from COMC (Chatroom Online Midlife Crisis.)
Just now, I was chatting in the room with someone I have spoken to for about 4-5 years, who is pretty much a f'ing jerk, and someone was asking him why did he change his screen name, again (since he didn't lose it to terms of service violations.) I was studying this, AND, knowing this guy from chatting with him for years, I have determined (and coined a new phrase in doing so,) that dude is suffering from Chatroom Online Midlife Crisis (COMC)

Get the Chatroom Online Midlife Crisis (COMC) mug. The cable tv channel marketed to women showing one insipid movie after another about a woman who finds herself in a compromising or dangerous situation that she barely escapes, and could have avoided altogether had she just used her head.

Get the Women in Crisis Channel (see lifetime TV)mug. Two completely opposite phases for a middle-aged person (40-50), usually a divorced man. Opposite phases can appear identical to those who do not know the man in question.
Mid-Life Crisis vs. Mid-Life XTC (ecstasy)
Mid-Life Crisis: Divorced Middle-Aged man buys a Corvette Convertible to attract foxy young Gold-Diggers.
Mid-Life XTC: Poor divorced middle-aged man ends up with a hot young sweetheart who later buys him a Corvette Convertible.

Get the Mid-Life Crisis vs. Mid-Life XTCmug. In the opening days of February 2010, a person or persons unknown started a stupid new trend on facebook and myspace that swept through like an avalanche. Countless people posted the following status: "Go to urbandictionary.com, type in your first name, copy and paste this in your status and the first entry for your name under comments."
This resulted in a huge influx of traffic on UD, which bogged down the site and crashed it a few times, because everyone thought it was so cool to post a glowing definition of their first name, which was submitted by some asswipe years ago. Of course, none of these lame first name definitions should have been approved in the first place, as per the UD guidelines which so many people ignore.
And yet, the worst was not over. After this, countless people began submitting first name definitions, which fell into two categories: glowing definitions of oneself or a friend, or slanderous definitions of an enemy. It was up to the editors to ensure the future of UD....

Oh man, I remember staying up all night during the Great FB/MS Laming of UD Crisis of 2010, rejecting as many lame-ass self-serving first name definitions as I could. It seemed like they would never end. I only wish we could remove all the ones from years ago, but most have too many votes and are thus "too popular" to be nominated for removal.
Dumbass: OMG!!! This is soooo awesome! UD says I'm a wonderful, sexy, intelligent person! That's great, but I think I'll submit and even better and more specific one! And then a mean one about the girl that pushed me at recess today!
UD Editor: I'll reject them all. Please stop contributing to the Great FB/MS Laming of UD Crisis of 2010.
Dumbass: Noooo!!! I'm shallow and weak and I need this self-esteem boost!

Get the Great FB/MS Laming of UD Crisis of 2010mug. Manufactured crises are when a person or a group cries out to others that something or someone is in danger from a different something or someone... when it really isn't. This is either because the claimed threat doesn't actually exist, or the claimed threat doesn't actually credibly threaten the thing that is purported to be threatened.
Unfortunately manufactured crises can be just as believable and seem just as real and dangerous as real crises when put together well. This especially goes if the reasoning behind manufactured crises plays to peoples' already existing prejudices and preconceptions about the things or other groups of people that are cast as being a threat.
Manufactured crises are frequently used in politics to rile up supporters and win over new ones. They often have a lot of overlap with conspiracy theories due to their shared nature of being untrue at their core. Hateful ideologies like antisemitism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc are also often propped up by manufactured crises that say that Jews/gays/foreigners/some other group are a threat to us, our family, our children, our country, our way of life, whatever.

ben: We've got to stop the gays. They're brainwashing and indoctrinating our children and turning them gay in our schools with all that diversity and inclusion bullcrap they're pushing! It's all part of their agenda!
chris: Simmer down, ben. Take a rational look at what's actually happening. Even if you feel uncomfortable around gay people, that whole bit about schools brainwashing children into being gay is nothing more than a manufactured crisis by right-wing leaders to rile you up. What schools are doing is teaching about the fact that queer people exist and that they should be respected the same as you would any other person. It's nowhere near being the "brainwashing" that the news pundits hype it up to be, and the goal certainly isn't to "turn our children gay".
