josplay

A portmanteau of Joe Rogan and cosplay. Refers to adopting the aesthetic, vocabulary, and confidence of a podcast-brained pseudo-intellectual without doing any of the reading, thinking, or fact-checking. Often includes buzzwords, bad science, and an unwavering belief that curiosity alone equals expertise.

“He watched one documentary and now he’s deep into josplay.”
“That’s not research, that’s josplay with a microphone.”
