Downhill Envy

The phenomenon that outdoor runners may experience wherein one runner, while tackling a particularly daunting incline, crosses paths with a runner enjoying the downhill while traveling in the opposite direction. The uphill runner might inwardly direct strong feelings of jealousy toward the downhill runner's good fortune that can only come during the exhaustion and red-faced all-out effort of a literal uphill battle. This is downhill envy. In special circumstances, such as those in which the downhill runner offers audible or visual expressions of encouragement or solidarity, downhill envy may even manifest in the uphill runner's outward utterance of disdain at the downhill runner's perceived condescension.

Friend: Hey, how was your run?
Runner: I've had better. I was trying to haul ass up this one particularly vicious incline, but it was a serious struggle. What made it worse was this guy happily bounding down the hill in the opposite direction.
Friend: Damn. Downhill envy.

Runner: Mmm hmm.

Lookout Envy

Stinging ping of failure that the bands from the 90's Wave of "Lookout! Records" Pop Punk bands express, at their loss of fame, compared to the success of acts like Green Day and Rancid, while continuing to propagate the facade that they are legitimate and valid "rock stars".

While watching the Trump rally today on FOX, Green Day came on during a Pepsi commercial, and Ben spent the rest of the day pining with "Lookout Envy.""

Brandon Envy

Wishing to have created a phrase like “Let’s Go Brandon” which refers to media and politicians who tell you what you distinctly see and hear is not true. They then go on to give a dishonest altered explanation which is clearly false.

The Democrat Party had Brandon Envy.
