Tripster 

A tripster is an educated and conscious psychedelic explorer.

They are the breed of people with the perfect mixture of higher-leveled curiosity and courage. Tripsters willingly enter psychedelic states in order to both implore and explore these uncharted territories with the directed purpose of attempting to charter them.
What up tripster, how was your S-trip? What type of ZOOMDOUT information did you bring back for us this time?

Hoffman, Huxley, Shulgin, Wasson, Leary, Lilly, Kesey, Alpert, Castaneda, Strassman, Abraham, Wilson, Sheldrake, Dennis and Terence McKenna are some of the most zoomed out minds in recent western history. It’s no coincidence that they’re all eternal tripsters.

Tripster 

A new wave of weirdos that take pride in their strangeness and lack of identity. A blend of existentialism with a new found optimism. These people surround themselves with chaos, but enjoy every minute of it. They are often heard listening to rap, hip-hop, techno, rock, or whatever gets them through the moment. They usually would rather listen to their own music or that of their friends. They often contain an inner paradox. They can be violent in appearance but be a hippie at heart, or they can be flamboyant but crazier about girls than any straight-looking jock or vice versa. They do not play sports, but they love adrenaline. They can have a sad look in their eyes, but be the happiest people in the world. Starting to get the point? Mystery is their middle name, happy endings are their game. They are often impulsive, but always with good intentions. They are easily caught up in the moment. They might try and get in fights all the time but when they find it, they usually will let the other person beat them to a pulp without even throwing so much as a punch. They like cats. They binge. They are generous, not just with material goods but with their love. They never give up on those childhood dreams of a better world, and they most certainly never give up on humanity. However, they might appear cynical. They are tricky. They might be part of gangs that would never hurt a fly. They are romantics, and they love late nights full of sex.

tripster 

A traveler who likes visiting places just because they are off the beaten path and/or lack tourist infrastructure. They often complain about crowds or too many people being there before, but ironically want to go obscure travel destinations just to brag on their social media about being different or edgy in vacation choices.
Stereotypical tripster places to visit are Greenland or Bolivia. Previous tripster spots like Iceland and Colombia have become too mainstream for them

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!
