I don't think I've seen this described anywhere in an "official" anthropological sense, but given that we all seem to be aware of this in passing, it's nice to discuss terms for it.

I have been using "digital silt" to describe it, because it's self-explanatory, like silt in a river, ultimately settling at the bottom of the abyss.

It has always made me think of Philip K. Dick's "kipple" which seems to have an actually decent definition at urbandictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kipple

Literature is always a good rooting for language. :)
