Linkgating by Booger13
ℹ️ Description
When a media or social media page hide valuable information behind a link. Unlike clickbait, this information is typically important and valid. They aren’t happy enough with you engaging with the post. They also want you clicking the link and scrolling through the ads to find the info.
A specific form of gatekeeping.
📌 Examples
The post says, “USDA has recalled this produce from all grocery stores.” I wish they didn’t linkgate, and just told us the item
That page is Linkgating, by only saying “Children being serious hurt by this new trend”

Backrooms by ParallaxAstro
ℹ️ Description
The Backrooms are a concept first showcased in a post on 4chan, where one user described a realm made up of nothing but infinite, empty, interconnected rooms with horrible yellow wallpaper and loud fluorescent lights. The concept has now been expanded upon and revamped numerous times over.
The Backrooms, in general, are a series of liminal spaces designed to evoke a feeling of eeriness and nostalgia. They are designed to be a form of psychological horror, with the emptiness and eerie feelings as the main point of the Backrooms. They take elements from everyday life, things that one would not ordinarily pay attention to, and takes them out of context to create something uncanny. Something empty. They are designed to feel surreal, dream-like. Often, the structure and physical design of these liminal spaces are completely nonsensical, as if they were not deliberately made, which, of course, only adds to the psychological horror of the Backrooms.
If you'd like a more in-depth explanation, take a look at Solar Sands' video on YouTube on the subject, titled, "Liminal Spaces".
There's also a Fandom site for the Backrooms, at backrooms.fandom.com.
📌 Examples
Oh, look! It's Level 37 of the Backrooms!

Slopulence by Milton Douglass
ℹ️ Description
A situation of great material prosperity, but only for superfluous consumer goods and entertainment content that do not bring happiness or meaning to one's life.
More specifically, it refers to the post-covid American economy–wherein real incomes are the highest they've ever been, food and material goods are available in incredible abundance and are unimaginaby cheap by the standards of any other time in human history, there is utterly limitless choice in immediately-accessible entertainment for free or very low cost, travel to nearly anywhere in the world is possible with for only a few days' pay, all the world's knowledge is accessible at one's fingertips, algorithms can instantaneously produce entire books, videos, games, programs, etc....but all the most truly meaningful and significant aspects of life (housing, healthcare, education, childcare) are unprecedentedly unaffordable.
Despite incredible prosperity in vapid material goods, society suffers from widespread unhappiness and perceptions of unbearable indigence due to the inaccessibility of the core building blocks of life. We possess opulence, but only for slop.
Slopulence.
📌 Examples
Tubi, Xbox Game Pass, Spotify, particleboard furniture, disposable fast-fashion clothing, $1 Tortino's pizzas–all are peak examples of slopulence

Coworker Music by P.Drizzy
ℹ️ Description
Coworker music refers to mainstream, widely popular music that is inoffensive, commercial, and considered overplayed. It’s an evolution of the term NPC music, describing tracks that are generic and safe. This type of music is common in workplace settings because it avoids strong reactions, fitting into a background role where it's heard but not deeply appreciated. Despite its simplicity, coworker music often serves as a tool for connection among coworkers who may not share deeper interests, reflecting the surface-level interactions typical in many work environments.
📌 Examples
As soon as I walked into the office, I knew it was going to be a long day—the same coworker music was playing on repeat, with Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons setting the tone for another uneventful afternoon.
