New word: Fopera

(n.) Any songs or events falsely advertised as "opera" that do not include any of the actual plot development, libretto, movements or cultural trappings or tradition of opera, including but not limited to Josh-Groban-esque singing, any choir or "classical" singing done by an individual still covered under child labor laws, and anything using the tag "epic" or the name "Celine Dion" as a promotional descriptive. Alt. fauxpera.
