A term used by management types to describe any sort of relationship in which one person gives feedback to another, even if nothing in the feedback process resembles a loop.
Wal-Mart "Associate": I feel like you're creating a hostile work environment by constantly pinching my ass.
Wal-Mart Manager: I'm glad we've set up the sort of feedback loop where you feel comfortable telling me that. You're fired.

A phenomenon where a lack of originality or effort is perceived as creative and insightful for absolutely no reason, via the employment of hipster logic. This is usually observed when arguing with a contemporary author, artist, "thinker" etc. about the integrity of their work or the work of another. What's interesting is that any rebuttal made to the individual who is employing hipster logic will only reinforce that individual's standpoint, working toward the inevitable realization that other people just don't get it.
Joe: This is a toilet dude.
Hipster: You don't get it man, it's more than that.
Joe: Literally all that's here is a fucking toilet on a pedestal, this is not art.
Hipster: That's just the point the artist is trying to make, your ignorant confinement of 'art' is just a conformist attitude succumbing to the conceit of traditionalists. This artist is brilliantly fighting the status quo for a freer form of expression....
Joe: It's a fuckin toilet.
Hipster: Huh, you just don't get it, if you were able to get.....
Joe: Whoa whoa whoa, I see what's going on here, I've been trapped in a hipster feedback loop, and I'm getting out of here.
Hipster: You don't get it man, it's more than that.

When a specialized system of thought becomes motivated by individual gain creating individual analysis and terminology that is false. In time, the systems exclusive terminology denies creative diversity locking it into a perpetual decline until system death.
I tried living in the United States last year, but damn, I couldn't secure my families basic needs because all jobs that pay a living wage require me to give up my cultural beliefs; the US is in a shitty feedback loop.

Hym "You mean the Infinite feedback loops that I was talking about? Yeah... I'm a genius. Another brilliant observation from the guy you reference 100 times a week. See how little effort what you do takes for me? How many people have I saved? In 5 years? The mass shootings have gone down (because 😩 I'm a genius and you're not😩). I tell the Chinese people to rise up. The next day? Articles about just that. Should I do the Muslims next? CEOs maybe? That's gotta sting. And that what I think the real issue is: it's not the insinuations. It's that I said anyone could do the thing you do. And I was wrong! I'm just exceptional. Absolutely brilliant. A Goddamn genius. Wow! What a good job, me! ThAnKs oThEr Me! Am I just imitating competence? That's one hell of an imitation! That is some Itachi Uchiha level genjutsu right there! Even the imitation is so good it's laudable! Wonder how well my Logos works in the midst of a societal collapse 🤔 Guess we'll find out. No doubt better than yours but that's the feature and not the bug. It's gotta be weird to not be an archetypal figure. I can only vaguely remember what that feels like... Have fun with that! I'm also a cult leader too so, technically, I too am a prophet. Except with more of an impact."
