transgression 

1. (social) breaking any rules or boundaries

2. (art) creative endeavors that break as many rules as the artist sees fit to break.

Transgressive artists have sometimes disagreed with their being called "artists", as the term has become quite overinflated, cliched, and pretentious.

Detractors of "transgressives" have leveled the same charges at them.

My personal opinion added:
Transgression is not enough, but it's a real fuckin' good place to start. It should be done any way you want it, but I like mine with a side of fun.

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!
