Necrochatamancy 

Necrochatamancy is the act or practice of reviving a dead chat that you had completely forgotten about. It is brought about either through making everyone aware that you have not spoken for months or by sending a rather dank meme and ignoring the fact that no one even wants the chat to exist. Necrochatamany was an activity turned competition sometime in March 2020. Although the origins are not completely known, we can assume someone texted in a dead chat, thereby reviving it. Necrochatamancy is practiced to this day, and chances are that every month or so you'll see someone pull it off and bring an old group of people back together for the sake of curiosity, or to achieve the state of "not bored." You know you have achieved a successful necrochatamancy when your phone will not shut up and you realize what a mistake you made.

Example 1
Person 1: "This chat has risen from the grave to terrify my notifications."
Person 2: "Aha! A successful necrochatamancy."

Example 2
Person 1: "I feel very alone right now and I just found this old group chat... might as well revive it for some form of entertainment. Don't you just love necrochatamancy."

Example 3
Person 1: "I have a new favorite sport! It's called necrochatamancy."
Person 2: "Dude... what the fuck is that?"
Person 1: "'Tis the art of reviving dead group chats for maximum terror."
Person 2: "Uhh, that's not a sport Kevin."
Person 1: "Clearly you've never done it before. Reviving chats is a deadly sport"
