[ SLANG ][ PSYCHOLOGY ]
A repeating cycle in which someone reinvents their online persona, burns out on it, and reinvents again, without ever settling on a stable version.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"This is his fourth aesthetic reinvention this year, he's clearly stuck in an identity loop at this point."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named for the closed, repeating structure of the pattern once enough people noticed their own persona changes weren't linear but cyclical.
