Bentrification 

The appropriating and reclaiming of historically cis/het forms of media. Often with a view to including other sexualities and genders, or creating an exclusively LGBT+ space.

I love the bentrification of country music, especially Lil Nas X and Orville Peck

Gentrification 

When "urban renewal" of lower class neighbourhoods with condos attracts yuppie tenants, driving up rents and driving out long time, lower income residents. It often begins with influxes of local artists looking for a cheap place to live, giving the neighbourhood a bohemian flair. This hip reputation attracts yuppies who want to live in such an atmosphere, driving out the lower income artists and lower income residents, often ethnic/racial minorities, changing the social character of the neighbourhood.

It also involves the "yuppification" of local businesses; shops catering to yuppie tastes like sushi resaturants, Starbucks, etc... come to replace local businesses displaced by higher rents.

The term was coined by sociologist Ruth Glass, who is quoted below.

"One by one, many of the working class quarters of London have been invaded by the middle-classes—upper and lower. Shabby, modest mews and cottages—two rooms up and two down—have been taken over, when their leases have expired, and have become elegant, expensive residences .... Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working-class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed."
-Ruth Glass (1964)

benchification

The process by which a non-bench object/person is turned into a bench, such as a group of people sitting on someone thus turning it into a bench, the person is then said to have been benchified.

This can sometimes be seen as a mild form of bullying if one person is benchified frequently. However many see it as a sport, or just a pass time activity. Frequent benchifiers will often exchange stories about the best objects to benchify.

Person 1- Why are you all sitting on me?
Person 2- Do you not understand benchification, there wasn't anywhere to sit so we benchified you.

gentrification 

When uppity white people move into a ghetto and take over the real estate, which fucks over the current residents. Usually followed by the opening of a shit ton of Starbucks, Nordstroms, and Whole Foods.

Uppity white mom: excuse me, where can I find kale and quinoa around here?
local resident: fuck, this gentrification shit needs to stop

Gentrification 

When you buy a house that hasn’t been painted in 30 years and finally put some paint on that thing.

All these yuppies are contributing to gentrification in my neighborhood with their mid-century gray tones and turquoise accents.
