Pronunciation: /rɪˈɡrɛsɪv ɪnˈsænɪti ˈsɪndroʊm/
noun
1. A psychological and metaphysical condition observed in individuals who experience cyclical temporal regression, typically triggered by death, and return to a fixed point in their personal timeline. The syndrome describes the progressive erosion of sanity and the conscious adoption of a fractured psyche as a direct result of the accumulated trauma from repeated deaths and lived experiences across multiple timelines.
2. The defining state where the subject ceases to perceive regression as a failure or a punishment, and instead weaponizes the process. By deliberately absorbing the existential dissonance and psychic feedback of their fractured existence, the subject transforms latent insanity into a source of power, strategic insight, or unconventional ability, viewing each life and death as an experimental data point for achieving a superordinate goal.

Characters like 'Kim Gong-Ja' from the manhwa "SSS Class Suicide Hunter" and 'Encrid' from the manhwa "Eternally Regressing Knight" use their eternal regression curse as a tool and a method to get stronger, meanwhile also obtaining the insanity of being able to tolerate pain and death tens and even hundreds of times without giving up. This is the definition of the 'Regressive Insanity Syndrome'

Get the Insanity mug.To the individual who posted ICP's lyrics "Night of The Axe" expressing that the words don't rhyme... That's because those words aren't part of the actual lyrics to the song. It's the skit before the song actually begins.
"I showed up at a high-school prom/
Wit an ax in my motherfuckin' palm/
BUT....
My personal favorite from that Era is 17 dead
"17 Dead bodies hanging from a telephone wire/
All 17 on fire/
Lighten up the sky with the smell of death/
Rich bigot fucker, take a deep breath/
Lookin at you makes me go batty/
Just don't be like your motherfuckin daddy/
Cuz he's nothing but a redneck hoe/
Him and his kind created this Ghetto/
They can't deal with there own creation/
Move our father, superb vacation/
But it don't work like that/
It's me at your door, and I've come wit a slug bat/
I'm a stick it to your fuckin nugget/
17 times and your gonna luv it motherfucker/
Drive down my street/
And stare at the folks who can't make ends meat/
Ya don't know now, but that's the plan/
Most people in hell were rich when they died man/
So take that to your golden bed/
Cuz I'm a cut your ass up for the 17 dead/
So to the one who read there skit off as lyrics when it was leading into the actual lyrics of the song. You should actually listen to the song rather then pass a judgement before knowing what you're talking about. That's just ignorant. Ignorance defeats learning.
