Being caught up in a perpetual motion game. Society is all about ‘somethingness’ - and making more and more of it. And since The Grand Machine of Perpetual Somethingness is designed, built and operated that way, there’s very little room for anything less than a whole lot of something.
Basically a big mudpie - with billions of people swarming all over it. And what with all the piling on, it can get messy, competitive and deadly in there. People become worn out by the struggle - unless they’re very rich. But the rich become worn out too, protecting their money. So in the end, there are a lot of worn out ants.
Somethingness is a philosophy that is similar to an widespread infection, but no one admits to having it. It is the opposite of Nothingness. It's like this: whenever you are doing something in your life, anything really, make sure you have some Nothingness sprinkled in - you know, to kind of offset all the I'm-really-Somethingness going on in the world.
The beliefs held by an individual who credits the existence of God(s) or a higher power, but does not subscribe to the specific religious beliefs held by any particular faith or institutionalized religion.
John: I don't go to church, I don't pray, and I'm not religious, but I believe in some kind of a higher power. Is there a name for that?
Steve: Yeah, it's called 'somethingism.'

An art movement developed in the early 21st century in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. It is defined by its use of non-specific mediums and its general lack of standardised conceptualisation.
"I've tried abstract expressionism, post-modern feminist printmaking and romanticism but in the end, fuck it all. Post-somethingism is the only way forward in an art world defined by constraints."

The belief that things have to be done but not to full completion, at least you have done SOMETHING. A person who supports this theology is called somethingistic
I was about to rep up in 2k but I only got Somethingism of the way there.
A descriptive word used when a vague meaning is required. Either through politeness, to save embarrassment or when there are no alternate words suitable
You’re quite somethingous.
More special than just something
