Architecture In Helsinki 

An extremely annoying indie pop collective. Their instrumentation may be unique, but their music is so sugary that one can do nothing but cringe, as if their teeth are rotting under their lips, while listeining to it.
Me: What are you listening to, Alex?
Alex: Oh, I've got Architecture in Helsinki on my iPod. Have you heard of them?
Me: Yeah, they annoy the living hell out of me. You should listen to some real music. How about some Tapes 'n' Tapes? Some Wire? Some Sebadoh? Those are all far better choices.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
