A person who attempts to appear, act, and advertise themselves as a hipster in a failed manner, normally through the breaching of connective ties by purchasing a closely but not quite similiar styling of clothing through mainstream reatailers like "The Gap."
A Gapster could be a person in Williamsburg, Brooklyn New York that has recently moved there from Manhattan with a P.H.D. in Pharmaceuticals who attempts to appear unclean and unkempt like his/her peers by wearing fashions pre-made for him/her through a major retailer, instead of not showering and being faux-poor through meticulously careful planning like a normal hipster.

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!
