alternafolk 

Umbrella term used to define various subculture and counterculture movements, generally based around genres of music such as jam bands, punk, alternative, metal, hardcore, goth, etc. Does not include pop-punk/pop-emo kids, as they are not subculture but instead buying into corporate pre-packaged shit music.
That festival we went to last weekend was great! All the alternafolk came out to play - there were some really weird looking people there.

I really like visiting my sister, her city is full of interesting alternafolk.

Alternarock

The coolest way to say Alternative Rock, which, since Fall Out Boy, has been more pop-rock than anything.
Interviewer: So what kind of music do you guys play?
Pete: We tend to stick to alternarock since we don't have a big indie crowd.
Interviewer: I guess not with songs like "Sugar, We're going Down". Are you sure you're not just a pop/rock band?
Pete: No, we're definitely alternarock. Definitely.

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!
