Modern Talking

A Deutsch pop duo formed in 1983 that in 1985 gained success with hits such as "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", "Cheri Cheri Lady" and "Brother Louie". In 1998 after breaking up for 11 years they got back together and hired a black guy to rap for them and created updated versions of their old hits, later on creating new songs. They broke up for the last time in 2003. They are probably the most successful recording artist to never chart in America. Despite this, they are one of the most popular 80s artists on YouTube.

I can't believe this band called Modern Talking sold 120 million records without charting in America.

Modern Talking

A wavetable shape in the VST plugin "Massive" by Native Instruments that is typically found in dubstep. It is commonly used by people new do making dance music (and Nicky Romero) because it is a cheap way to get an amateur wobble sound. Because of this, it has become taboo to use it in dance music.

Guy 1: "Yo dude! Check this sick dubstep beat I made!"

Guy 2: "You used modern talking..."

Guy 1: "I know! Isn't it great!?

Guy 2: *facepalm*

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

Grindset

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
