A term used to describe soppy, saccharine, generic, and wall-of-sound-ish adult contemporary cheese music, usually having vaguely Christian undertones. The genre itself originated in 2013, after the release of Hozier's "Take Me To Church", and rose to popularity in 2021 after Duncan Laurence released his song, "Arcade". It has since been used to define artists like Alex Warren, David Kusher, and Benson Boone. The term, however, was coined in 2025 by a Pitchfork critic known as Hannah Jocelyn.

Get the this guymug. the perfect guy is someone who treats the friends/ girlfriend or boyfriend to the best they can. They are always there for you, they may mess around with you and be “mean” but they deeply care about you inside, and you know that because it’s shows when they don’t notice it. But they are the best type of people so don’t lose them.

These Z-listers are most often comedians, but run the gamut of actors/actresses, athletes, musicians, reality show contestants and entertainment writers. Sometimes they are even part of the subject matter of the show itself.
