A paralist is a person who is a ParaPara enthusiast and/or dancer. Paralist usually refers to the dancers and is almost never used in context of an enthusiast.

Most paralists refilm official ParaPara club dances and post them for all to see and learn from. Some even come up with their own routines and film them as well.

Paralists used to be far and few outside of Japan, but since ParaPara is booming, the number of Paralists are increasing.
"Hey, why are you going to MTAC? It is so far away!"

"Where do you meet all these paralists anyways?"
"ParaParaStage.com! and ParaParaOnline.com!"
"You mean the forums?"
"yeah"
"oh... I never go on there"

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!
