Oh! Oh! What about THE METAVERSE!?!

Man fuck the metaverse. Everyone I met hyping it hadn't used VR once in their life.

You met someone hyping the metaverse? Do you hang out in Menlo Park?

No, just a few people in corporate culture in the early 2020s. Too much time in linkedin and not doing useful work.
