Is it super ultra hyper mega meta lydian? No. Or maybe yes. It depends.

If you like music theory or memes, you're in for a treat!

In this video I go through five different interpretations of the question, all within the context of tertian chords in 12-TET.

The five "interpretations" I address are:
02:48 Classic Lydian
05:02 Super/Hyper Lydian
06:27 Human hearing range
08:21 Absolute repetition of pitch-class groups
11:59 Consecutive repetition of pitch-class groups
