Top definition
A subgenre of Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) consisting largely of "near-future" science fiction films made in the 1990s. Shares significant overlap with cyberpunk but is somewhat more broad and mainstream. The films are the product of the recognition of the '90s populace that the digital future was coming, but the means of portraying that future onscreen were largely analog. CRT monitors everywhere, use of tapes, ubiquitous bright colors, and a conspicuous lack of the amount of film filtering and CGI that permeates 2000's sci fi films.
The Lawmower Man 2's future full of CRT monitors and crappy bluescreen work gave it a real Ni-Fi mood.

NiFi is the abbreviation for the German term 'Nicht-Ficker'. It literally translates to 'non fucker' and stands for a person (usually a guy) who doesn't have sex.
NiFis tend to be highly frustrated and attribute their lack of sex to circumstances not under their influence (preferably related to society or unfair female mating preferences but sometimes also their genetics).
NiFis do overlap with other social groups like Incels. Tho NiFis do not exclude them from sexual experience voluntarily but by a lack of success in getting laid.
Moreover, in their strong attribution of a lack success in dating and sex to external circumstances they do overlap with the 'red pill' movement.
Both groups have in common that by attributing their lack of success to aspects not under their influence cognitive dissonance is being avoided. Moreover, the external attribution serves as a lever to avoid taking action and change something about their life facilitating a passive approach similar to the clinical phenomenon of learned helplessness.
