saturatism

An art that responds to the contemporary philosophical vacuum and state of social fracture. It is international in both content and context and comes from our conscious/subconscious interaction with global information saturation. Subverting the dominant paradigm is at the heart of all saturatists.
Saturatism grew from the remnants of the death of post modernism on Sept 11 2001.

Epidermal Saturation 

A serious disease that occurs due to over-exposure from double rainbows. Primary symptoms include reddening of the nostrils, inflammation of the nipples and in some cases numbness of the crotch.

Leprechauns have been found most commonly diagnosed with Epidermal Saturation.

problem saturation 

A process by which Mainstream Media addresses an issue incessantly, building up to a sense of pending doom. Of course, the problem, while worrisome, does not pose the grave threat they would like you to believe. Finally, MSM abandons coverage of the problem completely, moving on to another problem.
"Honey, why don't we hear any news about the drug cartels anymore?"

Saturation coverage is when every news show and news update, on every channel, all cover the same issue. Repeatedly. Until you could probably quote it.

Note, though, that saturation coverage is distinct from disasterporn in that it isn't limited to disasters.

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.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
