Streaming Generation

The Streaming Generation has come of age in the era of music and movie streaming on apps such as Spotify and Pandora. This generation will have little to no memory of a time when CDs and DVDs were relevant media in their respective field. The time period covered by this generation is approximately 20005 to the present day, giving them a significant overlap with generation Z. Members of this generation are likely to prioritize efficiency in the way they consume music and video, however there have also been some backlash to this, which have led many of them to re-embrace older forms of these, particularly vinyl records.

Contrast with: ITunes generation, CD generation, Vinyl generation
The Streaming Generation have come to expect maximal efficiency in their music listening and film viewing experiences, at the expense of the personal quality of physical ownership, yet some are discovering ways to balance the old with the new, as evidenced by the resurgence of vinyl records in spite of the ubiquity of streaming services.

Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?!

Humorous inversion of “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
“They say it’s over, we’re down and out, no chance. And to that I say: Over? Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?!”

Bill Clinton Gambit

A defense strategy where one seeks to extricate oneself from a bad situation by claiming to be innocent by (a usually absurd) technicality. Named for former US president Bill Clinton, who popularized this strategy in the 1990s with his creative explanations for how he didn't actually smoke weed because he didn't "inhale", and most infamously, how he didn't technically lie when he said there is no sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because "it depends on what the definition of "is" is."
Person 1: I just read an article about how Senator Rob Johnson claimed he didn't technically commit a crime by being involved in a plot to replace legitimate Electoral College electors with fraudulent ones in the 2020 election, because he was only involved for "a couple seconds"...

Person 2: A Republican using the Bill Clinton Gambit? Oh the sweet irony.

Ecophobia

The fear of climate change and other environmental phenomena, or more specifically, “the feeing of powerlessness to prevent cataclysmic environmental change”. An ecophobic person is likely to have feelings of great anxiety or helplessness about the future. They are possibly also human fatalists, believing that humanity is bringing about the destruction of itself and the planet and that nothing can be done to prevent it. While many people today are rightfully worried about the effects of human intervention on the earth’s climate, some ecophobic people take an even more pessimistic view, and believe that the extinction of mankind itself is necessary to save the planet. This is a controversial view, and not held by most people who feel anxiety about climate change.
If you feel a general sense of helplessness and fatalism when you contemplate the future in humanity’s struggle against climate change, it may be a sign that you have ecophobia

Rule 99

Hitler’s law

If it exists, Hitler has reacted to it (most likely the Downfall version of Hitler)

See also: Rule 99.9

If he has not yet reacted to it, he will
Videos or gifs of Hitler reacting to memes and pop culture that came into existence over 70 years after the fall of the Third Reich which in any event would have absolutely no relevance to an unhinged tyrant watching his world collapse around him is a perfect example of rule 99
