The process by which all the shiny new things we buy eventually become irrelevant, outdated, worn out, busted, or unloved and are thrown away or sold to continue their route to the garbage pile in someone else's house. First used in this definition by Jerry Seinfeld on The Tonight Show, December 23, 2014. See also Crappify.
"All things on earth only exist in different stages of becoming garbage. Objects start at the highest order visible in a living area. From there it goes to a closet, cupboard or drawer. From the closet it goes to the garage, one of the longest phases in trashification."
The act of turning Tristan’s words into grandiose statements or propaganda; the pontification and exaggeration of Tristan’s ideas, often for dramatic or persuasive effect.
Tristan said he likes chocolate chip cookies, and tristification turned it into a worldwide campaign against oatmeal cookies.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
