gentwit
A group of people who share a common perspective which believes any problem can be defined by a signle variable and then demands that everyone besides themselves afjusts their life to "fix" the problem.
AOC is such a GenTwit. The other day she talked about banning fossil fuel cars and encouraging electrical cars as part of her green plan to save the Earth. She thinks switching to electric produces less carbon because she ignores the full lifecycle carbon footprint of the electric car. If she did, she would see it produces not only more carbon but also more hazardous waste. Just look it up YouTube before the videos get removed or supressed by followers of Bidenism.

Gentrification
When "urban renewal" of lower class neighbourhoods with condos attracts yuppie tenants, driving up rents and driving out long time, lower income residents. It often begins with influxes of local artists looking for a cheap place to live, giving the neighbourhood a bohemian flair. This hip reputation attracts yuppies who want to live in such an atmosphere, driving out the lower income artists and lower income residents, often ethnic/racial minorities, changing the social character of the neighbourhood.
It also involves the "yuppification" of local businesses; shops catering to yuppie tastes like sushi resaturants, Starbucks, etc... come to replace local businesses displaced by higher rents.
The term was coined by sociologist Ruth Glass, who is quoted below.

The term was coined by sociologist Ruth Glass, who is quoted below.
"One by one, many of the working class quarters of London have been invaded by the middle-classes—upper and lower. Shabby, modest mews and cottages—two rooms up and two down—have been taken over, when their leases have expired, and have become elegant, expensive residences .... Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working-class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed."

Gentri-Fried Chicken
Typically a person raised without seeing much plight of the poor entering an area of poverty with every intention to become a recognized member of that demographic. Often times a co-existing meek smirk and determined aloofness can accompany the person, giving off confounding signals.
Just because he is eating fried chicken out of a box at the Chicken Box store, it does not change his drawing on his trust fund to support his endeavors. Nor does it mean people won't be chuckling at him for being a piece of gentri-fried chicken.
