Howabeiyn [how-a-be-in] is an umbrella term themed off of the album How to be a Human Being by Glass Animals. It is connected to feelings of unnerve, urgency, haziness, wistfulness, confusion, distraught, and fuzziness. This umbrella term is more based on vibes than a concrete definition.

Etymology: how (to be) a (human) be(ing), “iyn” meaning of or pertaining to

Howabeiyn is a umbrella term that can also be used as a standalone identity. It isn't inherently any other umbrella term (xenogender, kenochoric, luxine, etc.), but may overlap, and can be freely combined with other terms.
