E-Zeitgeist 

E-Zeitgeist is an expression that literally means “electronic zeitgeist”. The term zeitgeist refers to the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate, ambiance and morals of an era. While the “E” in e-zeitgeist stands for electronic it is more commonly used in this context to describe the trends which persist virtually (i.e. on the internet). Therefore, e-zeitgeist refers to the ethos of the electronic generation, their socio-cultural progression and the expression of a particular world view. Those born between roughly 1975 and 1985 are usually considered the first generation to seriously use and influence the e-zeitgeist.
Before going in an internet chat room it would be helpful to know the conventions that exist in the e-zeitgeist.

zeitgeisted 

Caught by the spirit of the times (from the German term Zeitgeist). The typical experience of being zeitgeisted is the realization or epiphany that some personal characteristic, predilection, or experience believed to be special to you is in fact common out there in the Zeitgeist. You believed it to be uniquely yours, but in fact you were probably interested in it for the same reasons that dozens or thousands of others are as well. Your pursuit of originality was futile! Now you have just been reminded of that fact.
“A week after he launched his new website on (some obscure subject), G. was zeitgeisted by Wired Magazine publishing a feature on the exact same subject.”

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!
