The tendency of the zombie horror subgenre to become remarkably popular approximately every twenty years, then fade away. Zombie outbreaks have been noted during the mid-eighties and the late zeroes.
So named because the fad behaves like a zombie horde, first appearing as a controlled instance, then escalating while no-one's looking and finally making the leap to the general populace with mass mainstream multimedia. Eventually the fad has no demographic left to consume, and rots away.

Yesterday Isaac spent the whole carpool ride telling me about his zombie apocalypse survival plan in detail. He's totally buying into the current zombie outbreak.

Get the zombie outbreak mug.Noun. - A person in between childhood and teenhood, approx. 12-14 years old, mostly used to describe females only. This specific distinction appeared when corporations realized that tweens were a specific, marketable demographic with purchasing power of their own. Now, tween-oriented products such as The Jonas Brothers and tween lifestyle guides like iCarly exist.

Get the tween mug.Noun. - A nerd who is only interested in a very well-defined sub-subset of nerd culture. While nerds are generally believed to like comics, video games, D&D, sci-fi, anime and astrophysics all at the same time, the niche nerd enjoys one or two things and tends to ignore or downright repudiate the rest.
As a niche nerd of extremely refined taste, I find your proposition of going to Comic-Con downright laughable.
Don't bother trying to buy Mick a video game for his birthday; he only likes Japanese RPG's for the Playstation One made during the first half of the nineties.
