A doctrine, practice, or tendency characterized by excessive boredom, dullness, or the deliberate cultivation of unstimulating experiences.
From English 'bore' (to make weary, from Dutch 'boor' meaning hole) plus the suffix '-ism' (denoting a system or ideology). A modern construction reflecting contemporary discussions about tedium and existential listlessness.
Some philosophers and artists have actually embraced 'boredom' as a feature of modern life rather than a bug—thinkers like Mark Fisher used the concept to critique consumer culture and the frantic pace of modern existence.
