The slow death of the group chat after the trip, from fifty messages a day to a birthday in June.

The travelgroupchatdecay is measurable and mourned. Its final messages are photographs, then nothing, then one "remember the hostel?" which revives it for an evening. The chat's ghost limbs fire on every group holiday, and the cycle begins again, sweetly, at altitude.

Etym. — travel group chat + decay — the half-life of the shared trip.

Rel. — adminsuccession

Novelty check: APPROVE
