FORCE: Gen Z BrainrotUNIVERSE: BrainrotCLUSTER: storytelling

The point at which a fandom's backstory has split across so many spin-offs, retcons, and side materials that no single fan can hold the whole picture anymore.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"The lore fragmentation got so bad across the spin-offs that even the wiki mods disagree on the timeline now."
