Synth death 

A notoriously difficult section of the Guitar Hero 3 chart "Through the Fire and Flames" by power metal band DragonForce, beginning approximately 3 minutes and 50 seconds into the track and ending with an instrumental bridge. The section is characterized by fast arpeggiating notes that will usually make or break an FC (full combo) of the chart. Synth death is usually done by more skilled players through a method known as "tapping", but can be an extreme point of contention for those who are newer or less experienced at Guitar Hero.
My TTFAF FC run was going smoothly up until synth death made me lose my streak and fail.

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!
