The Verve 

An amazing band that spawned three great albums when they were together. The band finally found commercial success worldwide, with their album Urban Hymns (which is also arguably their greatest work).
There haven't been any rock bands as great as the Verve since their split. They were in a league of their own.
"Have you heard 'History' by the Verve?"
"Yes, It's probably the greatest song ever composed"

the verve 

Originally called simply Verve until conflicts with the jazz label Verve caused the name-change to The Verve.

Famous for their hit songs Bittersweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work and others.

The band split up after their final (and arguably greatest) 1997 album Urban Hymns, but still nothing quite equals them today. They don't write a few hit songs and a lot of filler, they write a whole CD of great music.
"Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life."

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!
