What do we call this new downturn?

There was the Dot Com Bubble, Great Recession, Covid Recession, Great Depression of course. Are there any names that stick with today’s love of naming things?

I think Reddit should be tasked with naming this bear market before the media gets its hands on it.

Try to take into all factors! Get creative!
