Gentrification

Gentrification is when businesses and homes are built in shitty, run-down neighbourhoods, which means the people who live there will actually have to work for a living if they want to pay the rent instead of beating up and mugging old ladies.

Generic White Guy Voice

A phrase used to describe a type of voice often heard in popular rock music. Many bands' singers suffer from having this average vocal range. Bands such as Anberlin and Acceptance have singers with this type of voice. It isn't really bad, it's simply mundane and thus less entertaining than the unique voices of singers such as Jonathan Davis of Korn. The term is generally derogatory, but does not need to be.
Guy Who Likes Popular Rock Bands: "Hey did you hear that new single by Acceptance?"

Guy with Musical taste: "Nope. Their singer has generic white guy voice. Sounds kinda like a lot of other emo and pop rock singers to me. I prefer unique sounding singers like Edsel Dope of Dope."

Genetified

Reverse Gentrification

When city council displaces renters to house the homeless. Akin to free energy proponents believe that making people homeless will solve homelessness.

Imminent signs of Reverse Gentrification include large encampments of tents and homeless people at parks or other public locations, that move elected officials to buy your rental homes to solve the problem.

Usually results in urban charm to your neighborhood. You can expect frequent visits from police, fire department and other first responders.
Tenant1: We all got notice to vacate and I'm not sure we can stay in the area.
Tenant2: No worries. I hear Reverse Gentrification is helping out folks like us.

Council1: I got a great idea, let's buy homes to shelter homeless!
Council2: Displace people to house people, you mean Reverse Gentrification?
Council1: Yes...And we could harness free energy to pay the utilities!
Council2: Aren't we smart!
