Fast-Forward Button ⏩
Copy & Meaning

A fast-forward button — the double right-pointing arrows that advance through media at higher speed, enabling efficient navigation through content. Fast-forwarding through boring sections, rewinding to catch missed moments, and pausing for snacks are the fundamental interactions of recorded media consumption.

'Fast-forward to the good part' is both literal media navigation and a metaphor for wanting to skip unpleasant waiting periods. Used for media navigation discussions, the 'skip this boring part' sentiment in any context, time-skipping metaphors, streaming culture discussions about how people consume content, and the general desire to advance through predictable or less engaging sections of any sequential experience.
