n00bwave


n. a phenomenon characterised by a sudden and immense flood of enthusiasm for a fandom or character that had previously been a fringe interest, beloved only to few. this is generally caused by the original material being adapted or remade for the big screen, usually in a blockbuster format.

n00bwave flooding is intensely disliked by previous fans of the fandom, because it disregards the years of loyalty towards it in favour of a superficial, hormonally-charged and often angst-fic-sodden adoration.
examples include the joker, as rebooted in the dark knight, and the cast of star trek in the 2009 ‘prequel’.

geek: oh man, i was just browsing the forums, and there’s another bunch of fanart of emo-spock crying with some red-shirt mary sue.

geekette: oh ferf-ksake… freaking n00bwave.
