Music micro genre that is inherently jazzy but sounds rubbish in your typical jazz club because of its expansiveness
Herb: "Hey what genre is Egg Tooth by Ephemerals? I heard them play it at Sunset Sunside in Paris and it sounded terrible compared to the album"
Suede: "Yeh that one's gonna be stadium jazz if you ask me."

Pyramidical wealth structures from capitalist democracy
Karen: "I'm sure if we keep giving the billionaires more money, some of it will trickle down to us at some point, after all, it's a meritocracy."
Alp (under breath): "ponziocracy."
A deliberately loud or garish outfit
Roo: "So it's Herb and Alp's queer wedding tomorrow, are you going to wear something boring and cis het?"
Ol: "No darling I am a transsexual who will be amongst fellow transsexuals and I shall be wearing my best shoutfit."
Young people dressing specifically for the task at hand, for every task, because specificity can be important. It produces a diverse street aesthetic distinct from the victorian era when people wore suits and dresses for literally everything.
Karen: "All these kids in goggles and helmets at the protest. Disgusting. In my day people wore suits for coal mining, tennis, and everything in between"
Vida: "Mom... Firstly you never went to a protest so how do you know, secondly you were born in the 1970's not the 1900's, and thirdly they're youthilitarian. Your generation militarised the police force. Did you know pepper spray is a war crime if you're using it on people that aren't your own!?"
A mix of hipster and yuppy. 99% of all reported hipster sightings are actually yupster sightings.
Karen: "I saw a TV documentary once where this market researcher who is my age asked a load of people with beards if they were hipsters. They said they weren't and the host became confused. Now I'm confused. Why don't they admit it?"
Male Karen: "Yeh, and how come hipsters have so much money if they're all artists?
Margot: "You've confused them with yupsters. Hipsters are not immediately visible in London because they're doing cool stuff that nobody really knows about. Yupsters are the first people outside of the movements to pick up on new cultural notes and are the first to spoil and invalidate them. But they do have a lot of money to popularise and flaunt it because they invariably have boring desk jobs. The final gentrification of ideas occurs when then yuppies catch hold of what the yupsters are doing. By this point the hipsters have left long ago due to rent rises."
Nostalgia for something that never actually happened
Fauxstalgia is sometimes used by folks who weren't born at the time to hark back about their experiences in the second world war, or used to remember a thing that didn't even happen such as the world before migration.
Karen aged 50: "Yes it reminds me how good it was in WWII when we didn't have transgendereds"
