Emily Armstrong
Emily Marcia Armstrong is an American singer and guitarist. She is the co-founder of Dead Sara and became the lead singer of Linkin Park when the band regrouped in September 2024, seven years after the death of their long-time lead vocalist Chester Bennington.
Initially known as Epiphany, Dead Sara's first gig was at the Los Angeles nightclub The Mint in March 2005. In addition to singing, Armstrong played the bass. As a songwriter, Armstrong was significantly influenced by folk rock. Armstrong received significant attention as a singer before Dead Sara's debut was released. Noting her "strong, urgent sound", Grace Slick said Armstrong was a singer she admired and Courtney Love brought Armstrong to New York to sing on Hole's 2010 album, Nobody's Daughter. Prior to joining Linkin Park, she recorded and/or performed live with artists including the Offspring, Beck, Demi Lovato, Awolnation, and Robby Krieger of the Doors.
On September 5, 2024, at the start of a livestreamed Linkin Park concert, Armstrong was introduced as the band's new co-lead vocalist. The livestream began with a performance of "The Emptiness Machine", the lead single of the group's album From Zero. Linkin Park's first public show with Armstrong took place on September 11, 2024 in Los Angeles. In a review in Los Angeles Times, Steve Appleford wrote: "Like Bennington, Armstrong is as capable with rich melodies as throat-ripping vocals, which fit naturally in the established Linkin Park sound."

Person 1: Yo dude, have you seen Linkin Park’s new singer, Emily Armstrong?
Person 2: Isn’t she a Scientologist?
Person 1: Bro. Em is openly gay (Scientology is extremely homophobic), has said that she had a therapist (Scientology rejects psychology as a medical practice) and many of Dead Sara’s lyrics suggesting opposition and rejection of the teachings of Scientology. Also, do you think that Mike Shinoda would let a Scientologist into Linkin Park?

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!
