Sounds like overmind

Where it comes from

From over- + mined.

adjective more overmined · most overmined

Depleted by excessive mining. With the sonic trends of the 1960s and ’70s already long overmined, it’s not particularly surprising that new bands are revisiting the 1980s, eschewing Beatles-and-Stones hegemony for (equally well-coiffed) sources like Bauhaus, the Cure, New Order and Depeche Mode.
