Monteverdi
Monteverdi - One of the first and most innovative composers of opera. He lived a very productive life, traveling to perform his works all over Italy, for the court, and later on for the first public audiences.
The composer lived a very long life (1567-1643). Like Mozart, Monteverdi was a child prodigy, a child especially gifted in the musical arts. Monteverdi learned to sing and play multiple instruments. He then grew up to be in service to the court of Mantua, quickly growing from simple musician to head conductor. It is here where he composed his first opera, "L'Orfeo", which is considered to be by many to be the first significant opera ever composed.
He then went on to write twenty more operas, but only two others survive. They are called "L'Incoriazone di Poppea"(The Coronation of Poppea), and "Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in patria"(The Return of Odysseus). Only fragments from the other operas survive. It's believed that many of these documents were caught in fire and burned up. Alas!
Monteverdi was crucial in the development of the Baroque from it's Renaissance origins. You say you like Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven? pffft. They are nothing, without Monteverdi.
And listening to the music of Monteverdi, one gets the sense of peace, rhythm. Monteverdi pulls you in with the emotion and keeps you there throughout his entire work, but only if you may have the patience to listen.
Anyway, take a listen to him. You just may introduce yourself to something new.

A funny company located in NineBao, Hangzhou, ZheJiang, China. Usually does nothing real, but earns easy money from some dumbass companies such as L'Oreal, and Nike through licking. Amazing cashflow out of nowhere, and assumed to be laundried in its livestream department. Had its cafe which serves the world's shittiest coffee and snack at unaffordable price, and its boss is pround of it. And hell yes, the world's stinkiest toliets, thanks to L'Oreal women out there.(Whom like to wear furry slippers and earn unmatched salaries almost every single month and still believe that they deserve it.) Regarless of all these, the company still holds a bright future, simply becasue its GM loves to dream bigger!

womp
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!
