fadcore
A genre of music originating from hardcore roots. This musical genre is ridden with talentless musicians who rely solely on trends and fads to get their fifteen minutes of fame.
Fadcore bands are easy to pick out due to the simplistic nature of their writing style, stolen stage presence, and/or recycled breakdowns.
Most of these bands rely heavily on something that is catchy to their target market for about three weeks, then it becomes unbearable to listen to and boring after enough listens.

Bob: Yeah, the vocalist sounds like someone is stepping on his throat.

fadchise
A portmanteau of "fad" and "franchise". It refers to a media property that initially garnered massive hype and peaked in popularity before rapidly becoming irrelevant, widely mocked or outdated.
Where timeless classics succeed at maintaining long-term cultural relevance, fadchises fail to do so once the initial trend dies down.

Man: "Slender Man exploded into popularity that garnered a multimedia franchise. But over the years, it lost modern day relevance and became a fadchise."
