A meme template pattern labeling something as mass-produced, formulaic, and impersonal despite being marketed as authentic or handcrafted — 'prefab [anything]' — extending the specific complaint about prefabricated ready-meals into a general critique applicable to relationships, writing, feelings, or any experience that feels assembled rather than genuine.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"这部剧的爱情线简直是预制爱情，每个转折都能猜到。"
LORE & ORIGIN
Chinese internet term built from 预制 (prefabricated/premade, originally describing factory-made ready-meals sold as fresh cooking) generalized into a flexible "prefab ××" template — prefab love, prefab literature, prefab emotion — used to call out anything that feels mass-produced and inauthentic despite claiming otherwise.
