🎭 Clout Chameleon™

Definition:

A shapeshifter who thrives on attaching themselves to other people’s shine. Their personality depends on the room, their worth depends on the name-drop, their hustle depends on who’s watching, and their whole personality depends on proximity to shine.

The human mood ring of social climbing. They’ll shift colors, beliefs, and entire personalities just to blend in with the crowd that’s shining brightest that week. Today’s activist, tomorrow’s bottle-service buddy—whatever gets them tagged.

Without an audience, they disappear.

Breakdown:

Clout (empty influence) + Chameleon (blending in to survive).

Example:

“He doesn’t actually build anything — he just morphs into whatever he thinks looks impressive next to him. Pure Clout Chameleon™.”
