This week I discovered that there is actually a term to cover the latest wave of bullshit that encompasses 'Artisan Coffee' and 'Gourmet Burgers'
PREMIUM MEDIOCRITY
Apparently the term was coined by Venkatesh Rao in 2017 - I found it at BeBADASS
"Premium mediocre is the finest bottle of wine at Olive Garden. Premium mediocre is cupcakes and froyo. Premium mediocre is “truffle” oil on anything (no actual truffles are harmed in the making of “truffle” oil), and extra-leg-room seats in Economy. Premium mediocre is cruise ships, artisan pizza, Game of Thrones, and The Bellagio." Venkatesh Rao
