Hipster Clap 

Signature move that always seems to arise when the specific type of music plays. Its mostly those skinny ass guys wearing sunglasses/or fake smart glasses inside with scarves and too low v neck shirts making a slight guitar rock stance and clapping up high over their heads or slightly to the side, usually vigorously.
I wonder how many hipsters will be doing the hipster clap at Cinespace this Tuesday.

hipster clap 

You know that hand clapping noise that is *always* included in hipster music, like their version of more cowbell? … Yeah. That one. … Best paired with an ukulele, a Rube-Goldberg machine music video, skinny jeans, sloppy t-shirts with a huge deep neckline, whiny high-pitched singing with an over-exaggerated 80s reverb, zero attempts at making oneself look pretty, and a massively overinflated sense of self-importance for the purposes of confidence overcompensation. ;)

Luckily, the fad is almost as dead now, as it still required creativity and emotions, which have died with the emergence of the succeeding generation.
Somebody playing patient, to state that he did something so shameful, it requires a visit of the hospital.
Patient: Doctor, I’ve listened to that new band, KO Og!
Friend, acting as a Doctor: You got infected with the hipster clap! We need to perform an ear washing with some industrial-strength Rammstein, stat!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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!
