Obersty 

A verb describing something extremely melancholy and sad. Rooting from Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes, Mistic Valley Band, Monster's of Folk, Etc.)

To be used in situations where you also want to define yourself as sad, yet wanting people to know about it as Conor Oberst does. Usually not to the extent of writing 7 albums worth of potent suicide inducing songs, though possible.

I would go up there and sing, but I simply can't. It would sound too obersty, I would come off like a try hard.

overstylize 

Noticeably relying heavily on style rather than effectiveness.

The Matrix sequels liked to overstylize while they tried to distract you from the shitty plot.
