Narrative Inertia

When the current media narrative has so much momentum that all news sources are covering the same topic and ignoring other unrelated news.
Science Dude: We finally figured out cold fusion! This is going to shock the world!
Friend Dude: Good luck, the pandemic has such much narrative inertia you'll be lucky to get a mention at the bottom of the page.

Meta-narrative

And it isn't 3 note.
Hym "No. Shithead. There is an entire anime dedicated to the multiplicity of meta-narrative that can be derived from this. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Do you know it's name? It's coming out with a 3rd season. There are literally dozens of meta-narrative in here. It's a literal masterpiece by all relevant metrics."

Narr

A sweet, caring, funny, gorgeous girl. She’s a beautiful blessing from God, she’s very smart and cares about her future, so if you ever come across a Narr in your life, think of it as a flex.
“Omg it’s Narr, my life is finally complete.”

Narrative Surfing

A populist-esque phenomenon. When someone adopts position after position because the position’s in-group popularity or astroturfed popularity.

This is most often done to increase (social) media engagement rather than being a sincerely held belief or only becomes a sincerely held belief as a result of its popularity and not its rationale or substance.

Surfing from narrative wave to narrative wave of popular opinion among one’s in group.
why are conservatives now supporting abortion and gay rights?

They’re narrative surfing dude.

Narrative

It's hard to get in there... You know? It takes some time.... Unless you're me. I'm SUPER good at that's shit! It's almost too easy.
Hym "You know how I know that that character is about me? The anime one? Not only did he express my exact position but they modeled him after the 'Bleach' character 'Kenpachi Zaraki'. And it's a reference to the comment I made about people giving me a blank expressionless stare as though 'they can see the effigy of my might looming behind me like Kenpachi Zaraki'. Isn't that wild!? I'm in that narrative y'all. Great job me!"

Iam "Wait... Does that make me the depressed kid?"

Hym "HA! Probably!"

fuck up my narrative

To deliver facts that hurt my comfortable little bubble of idiocy.
Mike: I wish Republicans had at least the minimal level of respect for women and people of color...
Jen: Republicans picked up 10 seats in the House in the 2020 election. Most were women and people of color.
Mike: Don't fuck up my narrative!
