I think the core is being excessively self-focused, in repetitions/layers, and ignoring outside world - ultra-advanced omphaloskepsis

A certain level of focus on tools is acceptable, but after a while we expect people and things to “get on with it” whatever “it” is

What are the most “up its own ass” things you can think of? Feel free to include things you like that are nonetheless up their own asses

I think up-its-own-assness also suggests a quality of insularity, circumscribed by a highly particularized language (not necessarily spoken, eg modern art).
