After-effects of pandemic pop music, named after Kelly Clarkson. The realization that the pop music in question is generally uncouth, and further attempts at a music taste cover-up or camoflage of other more (supposed) innocuous independent or indie music.
"Kimmie really loved the Killers and therefore the Clarkson Effect couldn't be stronger when she discussed her music tastes with the indie elitists"
