Social Decay
The state of a city and it's culture when it's population is too great and the subsequent infrastructural/behavioral problems that are associated with excess become obvious. Social decay occurs and can be seen on both the physical level of everyday life in a city (abandoned buildings, vacant collapsing houses, streets in poor condition, etc) and on the emotional state of it's inhabitants (narcissism, social anxiety, paranoia, etc). Typically people are generalized into a vast and generic group called "strangers" and these strangers are often ignored completely (by other strangers) in order to keep the city running efficiently and problems associated with poor behavior suppressed. The only time strangers interact with each other is when one stranger offers another stranger a service or something that the other stranger needs or wants.

Examples of Social Decay:

Stranger A: Would you like a bag for your food?
Stranger B: Yes

Stranger A: Would you like to help out the homeless today?
Stranger B: No

Stranger A: Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?
Stranger B: Sure

Stranger A: Can I sit here?
Stranger B: I don't know man, it's too hard to tell!

Other Examples:

People that are afraid to leave their apartment because of fear of strangers.

People that feel they are eroding but only as an expression of what they see around them.

The overall and overwhelming sensation that everything is collapsing and must be destroyed to start anew.

A car on fire.

Police shooting protestors.

Gang violence.

Reverend Decay
Noun: A psychological affliction that generally affects young males usually beginning onset in the late teen years to the early twenties. The diagnosis is usually chronic and degenerative resulting in eventual end diagnosis of complete fagdom. Chief among presenting symptoms in early stages are the following: Moodiness, bleak outlook, neo-goth persona, self mutilation and pain infliciton, stemming from a severe prediliction to body image issues, reversed negative religious leanings and sexual ambiguity, fixation on underage girls and chronic lateness. Studies have shown one unifying experience common among all those suffering from 'the reverend decay'. Sufferers have all reported early childhood sexual experiences with elder clergy and the strong identification with an overwhelming sense of pleasure and enjoyment. Many report willingly seeking out diverse and numerous priests, pastors, and reverends for ever more "adventurous" acts of voluntary molestations from a young age well into adulthood, thus inducing the multitude of self injurious attitudes and activities. This deep seated self-hate usually leads suffers to closeted lives of denial of their true transgendered selves and the pursuit of ever increasingly destructive relationships. no cure is known.

"it was only a few years after the molesting that we saw the first signs of little Fraley developing the reverend decay.?
