zeitgeist (noun) TZYTE-guyst



The spirit of the age, the ideas prevalent at a certain time and in a certain place.

Quote:
If true – and the tribunal hearing is continuing – it was worthy of David Brent, the deluded boss of The Office created by Ricky Gervais, who captured the workplace zeitgeist so brilliantly.
Richard Woods, The Sunday Times, 4 November 2007. Sunday Times


Quote:
Are their feminist-baiting, body-fascistic, terminally-faithless and hyper-sexual memoirs serious signs of the zeitgeist?
Marianne Macdonald, The Observer, 9 September 2007. The Observer


Quote:
Bogosian, like many other writers tackling this subject matter back then, was so busy indicting the Zeitgeist of suburbia that he forgot to attach a credible story to it.
Hilton Als, The New Yorker, 9 October 2006. The New Yorker
