Why this word is great
NEOLATRY — [Noun] The worship of novelty; excessive fondness for new things or ideas. From neo- (Greek νέος, "new") + -latry (Greek -λατρεία, "worship"). Unlike "neophilia" (a benign enthusiasm for the untried) or "traditionalism" (a stubborn grip on the familiar), neolatry is an unexamined devotion, a reflexive genuflection before the altar of the next. It is the fevered queue outside the tech store for a phone marginally thinner than last year’s, the breathless praise for a novel that mistakes obscurity for depth, or the hollow thrill of discarding a perfectly good coat because its cut is no longer the cut. A hunger that mistakes the act of consumption for progress.
