PMA
Hopeful thinking style
PMA stands for positive mental attitude—an optimistic outlook embraced as a personal philosophy or self-improvement strategy.
The term gained currency through motivational speakers and self-help culture: Keep that PMA going.
In hardcore punk scenes, PMA became associated with the band Bad Brains and their ethos of channeling aggression into positive energy.
