Trailerisation 

Trailerisation is the delightful art of reimagining a well-known song in a slower, darker, and grittier style for use in movie, television and videogame trailers. This technique leverages nostalgia to evoke positive associations with the advertised content by altering the song's original mood, thereby enhancing emotional depth and aligning the music's atmosphere with the trailer's thematic requirements through comprehensive deconstruction and reconstruction of the track.

Noun

To trailerise
Person 1: Wow, they really trailerised Nirvana's Something In The Way in the new trailer for The Batman (2022).

Person 2: I had no idea trailerisation was so common until I found it on reddit. It totally works though.

self-trollerisation 

Where a troll on a message board ends up winding themselves up more than their audience/intended victims.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
