Desi Hip-Hop

Desi Hip-Hop is term used to define a rising cultural movement. The term is an umbrella phrase to cover all things “desi” influenced by Hip Hop, and all things Hip Hop influenced by "Desis." The movement started locally (and to an extent individually) in different parts of the world as South Asian populations migrated to the UK, USA, and Canada. The sounds of the culture first emerged in the late 80s, and early 90s from the UK.

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!
