[ STREAMING ][ TECH ][ NOUN ]
The multi-second delay between a streamer's actions and the audience seeing them, causing chat to react to events the streamer has already forgotten about.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Chat is still reacting to the goal from thirty seconds ago while I'm already responding to the offside call — livestream lag is brutal."
LORE & ORIGIN
Literal technical latency re-contextualized as a shared cultural experience among live streaming audiences, creating its own genre of inside jokes.
