Melanincholy 

A state of sadness caused by witnessing black people suffer.

Melanincholy is a result of systemic racism, the continuing economic inequalities, the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power, and last but not least, the police brutalities towards black people.

Black girl: Hey what's wrong? You seem down?

White man: I just watched a video of black man getting beaten to death by the cops. I feel sad, depressed, angry and I want to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.

Black woman: Ah, you're feeling melanincholy.

White man: Dude! That's exactly how I feel. Thank you for explaining my feelings to me. I feel so much better now. I'm going to post a black square on Instagram! #BLACKLIVESMATTER

Black Woman: That's amazing! What would we do without you.

Melanincholy 

in 2019, rapper Damiano aka "The Miserable Genius" released an album named "Melanincholy" and defined it as: "the pensive sadness that comes with being black or brown." The album is a lyrical dissertation on race, generational trauma and colonialism. Melanincholy was made in response to the lack of emphasis on black and brown people in recent conversations about mental illness in America and anxiety/depression in Millenials/Gen Z.

"I'm feeling a lot melanincholy right now."

"What do you mean? What's that?"

"I don't know dude. I'm the only black person at my job and it feels weird. People treating me different cuz I'm black and I don't feel safe there...I feel very unwelcome."

Melancholy 

To be 'melancholy' is a brand of sadness that is over thought, prolonged and can be caused by any reason regardless of its the magnitude. It's a very personal, heavy weighing sadness. It has similar characteristics with depression however, melancholy is an insidious sadness. It's more than simple desolation or dejection, melancholy feeds on pensive self reflection in such a low state, reflecting lower and lower on itself until you can't see anything other than sadness.

Example 1)
Person 1: I just went for a 5 hour walk, didn't bring any food or water and just listened to music.
...
Person 1: It's 3 AM... maybe I'll just eat tomorrow.
...
Person 1: ... fuck I need to stop thinking about this so much, it's making me Melancholy.

Melancholy Masochist 

Noun: A man who constantly subconsciously pursues women who are unattainable or more so not girlfriend material at all. And through this process suffers heartbreak repeatedly due to the combination of lack of self confidence, paranoia, the need to please and on the females part and outstanding combination of mind games, misread-able flirting and leading on. Broken at that point the man continues to pursue romance with another similar candidate as the previous as if he enjoyed the pain.

Ex: "Aww man David likes Jane?! He's such a Melancholy Masochist, she's gonna fuck him over just like Tina, Molly, and sandra did. and then he's gonna break down and do it again.
