I think we should use metaverse and meta (lowercase m) frequently and often, just to fuck with Meta/Facebook. They don't own the words.

Marketingverse? Adspace? I’ll go with Adverse.

My side projects lately involve images, illusions, and objects with one foot in the real world and one in the digital world.

I hesitate to call these ‘metaverse-ready’ but they are.

I’m not sure putting any label on them makes them easier to understand, so I don’t. When it hits you, you feel it, and that is good enough for me.

The Matrix? Cyberspace? Third Life? Web 3.0?

Perhaps, like a new territory being colonised and declaring independence, the name should be decided by the community that lives there, in which case it is too early to give it a permanent name yet.

Metastanza.

Metamood.

Both of these are a play on the theme of poetry (verse, stanza, mood, and theme ironically).

Metarecto (from recto verso).

They are meta on metaverse.
