Proto Hipster
Certain people of the indie variety who may be considered Hipster in most circles, but never actually went full hipster. A proto hipster has the ability to acknowledge cultural norms, and chooses to exceed them to an extent.

A proto hipster is generally one who wears funky clothes that does not excessively succeed cultural norms, and listens to obscure music, and watches old or weird movies

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!
