gentrifunk

Gentrified black music (typically jazz or funk) made to be palatable for white people.

The two hallmarks of a gentrifunk artist are being a white educated virtuoso and being overly-concerned with their aesthetics, with the latter being a lot of retro synths and purposely dressing lame (usually 90s kid fashion).
Gentrifunk? You mean like Vulfpeck, Louis Cole, DOMi & JD Beck, Jacob Collier and Marc Rebillet?

Gentrifucks

Yuppie scum that move to your funky cool 'hood, spreading banality and leaving condos and chain stores in their wake, thereby spoiling the flavor (and driving up the rents).
The taste-challenged gentrifucks ruined the vibe in Bucktown, and now they're taking over Andersonville.

gentrifuckation

Basically sexile, except on a massive level. When a couple is fucking in a room or space with lots of people (ex: hostels) to the point that everyone leaves in disgust. Similar to gentrification, except with sex. Happened to me the other day in Rome.
Jim: Hey Sally, why is everyone hanging out in the lobby? It's like 4 in the morning.
Sally: Some drunk fucks were banging in our room and no one wanted to hear them.
Jim: Damn, that's Gentrifuckation in action!

Gentrifuck

An Urban Planning term for when the good intention of gentrification of a town, neighbourhood, city or any other area subject to gentrification goes horribly wrong either immediately after gentrification, or unintended consequences of gentrification over time.
"Oh look over there, that neighbourhood looks so fresh and so new"

"yes, but it has been gentrifucked, as the only people that can afford the rents are snobs, and the only stores that can afford the rent are corporations - mom and pop shops have dissapeared"
