Spite Monkey Mentality

The sort of mental attitude exhibited by the majority of teenagers worldwide; arrogance, inexperience, and self-absorption coupled with lack of insight, narrow mindedness and a total inability to accept that they could ever be wrong. It is just this sort of chip on the shoulder attitude that causes them to clog up Urban Dictionary with ridiculously silly definitions that stand no hope of ever being accepted, to compete with each other to produce the most sickeningly disgusting sexual perversion, to attempt to boost their, already over-inflated, egos with self-aggrandising descriptions of themselves or to denigrate people they don’t like with descriptions that they don’t have the balls to put their names to, because if they did they would be sued for libel. It’s the sort of mental attitude that, when their submission is rejected, throws all of its toys out of the pram and rejects everyone else’s definitions out of infantile spite.

It is to be hoped that eventually they will grow up and maybe grow a pair although it must be said that many of them never do, retaining even into old age an immature sense of entitlement.
Spite Monkey Mentality is unfortunately prevalent amongst the teens, pre-teens and post teens who have invaded Urban Dictionary.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
