(Noun) Buzzword used by Silicon Valley gurus, often in conjunction with innovation, as in 'disruptive innovation'. It's supposed to sound cool and radical - like revolution - but it's also terribly empty, so technies and entrepreneurs using the term constantly have to explain why the digital world is so disruptive, compared to like the Industrial Revolution. Which is where it all falls flat.
