Vemödalen - Have you heard this word before?

Who knew?!  How many have experienced this word and didn't know it existed?  


Vemödalen n. the frustration of photographing something amazing when thousands of identical photos already exist—the same sunset, the same waterfall, the same curve of a hip, the same closeup of an eye—which can turn a unique subject into something hollow and pulpy and cheap, like a mass-produced piece of furniture you happen to have assembled yourself.

No I had never heard of that one. But then I do not get around much. I had to book mark that one. I love obscure words.
