APPLEYTE
Appleyte (/ˈæp.ə.laɪt/) noun:
A consumer who displays an intense, often irrational, brand loyalty to Apple Inc., characterized by behaviors that mirror religious devotion.
An individual who views Apple product launches as sacred rituals, "Geniuses" as spiritual guides, and Apple Stores as modern-day temples or cathedrals.
Core Behaviors of an Appleyte
Apostolic Advocacy: Spreading the "gospel" of Apple's ecosystem through passionate word-of-mouth endorsements, often viewing non-users' choices as a personal affront or betrayal.
Theological Defense: Offering "religious apologetics" to justify high prices, removed features (like the headphone jack), or restrictive ecosystems as necessary for the "higher good" of the brand.
Ritualistic Consumption: Engaging in sacred private rituals like "unboxing" and public pilgrimages to wait in long lines for new releases.
Neurological Alignment: Demonstrating brain activity where Apple imagery triggers the same centers as religious iconography in traditional believers.
Cultural Context
Scholars note that Apple has successfully filled a "religious void" for many, using Steve Jobs as a messianic figure and the Apple logo as an "enchanted talisman". While many use the term "cult" tongue-in-cheek, the term Appleyte highlights the specific supplication and surrender to the brand's identity.

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
