Everyone: "Where did Icona Pop come from? they're so good!"

Some Hipster: "You're so late, i've been listening to them for years, they're just another breakout artist, you've probably only heard "I Don't Care" psh basic."

Breakout Room 

It's a feature in Zoom where the host can divide the participants into randomized groups. When it comes to online school, it is the worst thing on the planet. On the surface it sounds like a decent idea, but when you have classes with only a few friends and a lot of students who you know never do any work, it's all on you to get anything done. You have to have pretty good RNG to be paired with students who will actually also do work.
Teacher: Alright guys, I'm going to be putting you guys into breakout rooms for the next five minutes.
Student A: Great, time to try and be productive for a whole five minutes while no one else does anything.
Student B: *Says nothing because he isn't even in the room*

Breakout Piece 

An extreme piece of apparel reserved for dire or desperate occasions.

John: Not every night... it's totally a fuckin' breakout piece!
