Contractium
Prized for its value, expensive, bright lustre.
Material never stays static for long, as risk of turning into permieum a far less valuable element, of dull lustre.

Entitlementium - Element that expects life to be easy and everything laid out on a plate.

Utubium - hypnotic element that causes time to pass more quickly than you expected.
Kardashium - fastest-acting money-reducing agent known to man. All the lustre of gold with none of its quality

Well since they are all Heavy Metal elements one of them should be Lemmium, or possibly Kilsmisterium.

Hipsterium
Does not appear to do anything useful.
Makes an annoying whiny noise when pressure is applied.
If left alone it will make itself look increasingly more stupid - this characteristic appears to be infinite as we still find more and more stupid looking ones each day.
Or something

Can grow in mass by sucking the energy out of other elements. Tends to dominate the periodic table. Actually it owns the table.
