ok so what is the terminology for fantasy that is secondary world and has like magic and monsters and shit but also like, donuts, sneakers, other anachronistic stuff or sensibilities? i tried to describe this as being “like shrek” and am still being made fun of for it 
Not sure I'd agree with this definition; Fonda Lee's Jade War series counts as modern with magic, I'd argue, and that's a secondary modern world with magic built in.

Yeah, "tacked on" isn't the right word, but I mean that the actual setting is clearly a modern one that evolved with magic up to a point in history comparable to the current one in our own world. Whereas Shrek is definitely medieval, but with modern equivalents throughout.

In fanfic the "modern with magic" tag tends to mean that the worldbuilding looks mostly like a modern setting with magic tacked on, while in actual published books the worldbuilding is more robust and involves more thought about how magic would have shaped global history.
