Noun. The specific flavor of soul-crushing, low-level existential dread that defines life in the late 2020s.

You know something is deeply wrong but can’t stop scrolling.
Origin: A diagnostic concept describing the felt experience of platform capitalism, generative AI saturation, and the death of embodied community all hitting your brain at once.
