"an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic."

I mean, the idea behind a dystopia is mass suffering for people not the Elite Class. Like I live in this world but hell if I know anyone who's fully happy. My outcome isn't happy, it's simply as good as a disabled woman is going to get.

Nayrt
I disagree. It's usually totalitarian OR post-apocalyptic. It's entirely possible to have a dystopian, post-apocalyptic setting with people going about their lives the best they can. Sure, things are bad, and things are hard. But humans have been known to be able to make the best of some of the shittiest situations.

There's mass suffering in the real world. Nearly everyone suffers in some way because of society, and it's so normal they don't usually think about it. Take away the word "imagined" from the first part of the definition you gave, and you have most of the modern world. Yet many people are happy.

But the point of dystopias is that they depict a world that's different from and worse than the real world, where the negative qualities that you're talking about are worse.
