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.

Zombieland, Plants vs. Zombies, The Walking Dead... I've had enough! I hope this zombie outbreak dies off soon.

An autistic outbreak is a term used when you hear autistic kids yell terms like kill yourself, Off the friends list, You're Blocked, Police called, & We ain't cool. Typically these words are said when the person is hangry and hasn't had their 8th Burger King whopper of the day
He's having an Autistic Outbreak.

The first Resident Evil game to feature online capabilities. Taking place during the outbreak in RE2, you can guide 8 different characters through 5 different scenarios. Sequel is Resident Evil: Outbreak File#2. Rated M for blood and gore and violence.
