WHAT “ERA” ACTUALLY MEANS

Used to describe a phase or period of your life defined by a particular mood or focus, such as a “villain era”, “healing era” or “gym era”. It comes from the way fans talk about musicians’ different album eras.

ZACK’S TRANSLATION

A rebrand for a mood. Your “villain era” is returning a coffee and apologising four times.
