Post photos of your friend looking weird
Me: when’s post a mug day
You: tomorrow
When you stop listening to Weezer and realize how much of your life you just wasted
"This Post-Weezer Clarity really hits different after listening to "Buddy Holly" nonstop for 6 days straight!"
The chronic habit of posting painfully mundane, oddly specific, and questionably profound WhatsApp statuses that nobody asked for—but now we all have to live with.
Often includes:
• Food hot takes that sound like rejected Dragon’s Den pitches
• Daily life updates that feel like side quests from a preschool teacher
• Music screenshots with cryptic captions that don’t make sense but sound like they might if you were high
• Off-brand motivational quotes with the emotional depth of a soggy Rich Tea biscuit
• Photos of countryside or suburban nothingness with captions like “Needed this”
“Man acts like he’s the main character in a Netflix indie short every time he posts. Stop the Callum-posting”
“You know you’re Callum-posting when your status feels like a TED Talk but it’s just a tree and bad lighting.”
A category that references what is left after a shitpost. Mening a text that is influenced by and has all the trappings of a shitpost: camp, kitsch, blown out aesthetics and clearly delirious plot or premises, but that takes out all of the levity associated with it, instead, we are meant to take it seriously and even dourly, instead of laughing along with it. Authorial intent bears some relevance to the proper application of this category, meaning that it is necessary for the author of the work to have imbued the text with these qualities, rather than their presence being unintentional (e.g. The Room)
Some precursors of the genre might be, as works bearing very little verisimilitude and over the top aesthetically, which present themselves as earnest works:
- Collapse, by nick land
- Unknown death 2002, by yung lean
"Have you heard Brat, by Charli XCX? I saw the cover art and thought it was a shitpost, but then all of the songs, even though they bear a lot of resemblance with the aesthetics of rave culture shitpost memes, are really earsnest, come even deep and moving."
"yeah man, thats because it's not a shit post, it's post-shit"
When someone is very annoying so we devise a plan to shite in a Jonny and put it in her letterbox
I’m bored , anyone fancy doing “ Mistys Misterious Frozen Poo Post “
"hey it's September 9th its national post your dick day"
A revival of a topic. A defibrillator post is a post in an old topic that is an attempt to try and revive the topic. From the word 'defibrillator', the shock pad used to revive people.
