Big, bad bugs with expressive mandibles and big, lively compound eyes. They look and sound like they come from outer space to annihilate anything in their way.
You wouldn't want to imagine getting bit by a swarm of cicadas the way they look and sound. There would be a lot of people wary of an insectoid space invasion if more people were getting bit on the arm by those things, people must be lucky, as some would call it.

Cicada 3301 

A mysterious group of hackers and cryptographers that, according to leaked documents, believe "censorship, tyranny, and oppression of any kind must end," and that "privacy is an inalienable right." Little is actually known about the group, except that they recruit via complex online puzzles involving a wide variety of subjects, including: cryptography, art, number theory, programming, old literature, steganography, hacking, and posters that show up in various cities around the world. The puzzles have begun on January 5th each year.

Some think it's actually recruiting for the NSA, others think it's an ARG, and others think it's actually the core group of Anonymous.
Have you seen Jeff?

Nah, he's doing this year's Cicada 3301 puzzle, so he'll be locked in his house for the next two months.

Damn. I heard some people that went to find Cicada posters disappeared and were never heard from again.

That shit's probably NSA, bro.

cicada block

An anime trope in which the dominant participant (usually seductively or in a flirtatious manner) corners another against the wall. There are several poses associated with this maneuver but the most noteworthy is the dominant participant using all four limbs to cling to perpendicular walls of which their target resides in the corner of. Its pretty crazy to look at and is regarded for its ridiculousness.
Spider-Man could easily cicada block someone.

A locust-type insect quite common in the southern United States. Some species do hibernate for seventeen years, but not all. They produce a very loud screeching sound somewhat similar to the sound of crickets but much more irritating. They typically are around all summer. They are terribly clumsy fliers; I've had several fly into my head.
The sound of the cicadas outside my window blocks out the sound of my TV.

Walking outside, the cicadas were deafening.

Cicada carcasses litter the Southern sidewalks come autumn.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
