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.

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.

something that my friend made up. filipino humor is someone (who’s filipino) who thinks “loud = funny” liked hazbin hotel, helluva boss, have those insufferable wolf cuts, etc.. i am pretty sure my friend saw one of these people online once. now she thinks everyone who is filipino is like that.

When a show/movie gets a reboot and forces in references to modern (at the time) references, typically iPhones, Cancel Culture and (obviously) drones.
Person A: You head there doing a King of the Hill reboot?
Person B: I’m not looking forward to it, it’ll probably have lots of drone humor.
