Do "super", "hyper", "ultra", "meta" actually mean anything different beyond just being "cool prefixes" that cycle in and out of favor either organically or suddenly when a major entrepreneur just comes along and names their entire ecosystem after one of them?

“Meta” in the epistemological usage has long had a distinct meaning that is more specific than just “cool” (usually indicating some form of self-referentiality), so I would single that prefix out from the others
