I agree with the described comment. It's not new and the creation of a new framing of it is hilariously ironic, given that re-framing things constantly and pretending they're new is one of the symptoms of the TRA version of NPD.

Is reinvention another way of getting attention? Like "coming out" with a fresh set of nouns and adjectives over and over again, or generating another reason to control conversations and correct people.

Seems entirely plausible that it would be. If you are desperate to be "unique" this would be a virtually necessary strategy.
