A condition caused by playing too much Guitar Hero or Rock Band with short-term and long-term effects. Symptoms include:

1. Temporary visual distortion of everything off-screen, caused by the vertical motion of the game, causing a trippy, disorienting effect

2. Soreness of the wrists and shoulders from extreme strumming and fingering.

3. Having a knowledge of rock and alternative limited only to the songs featured in Guitar Hero.
1. You: "Whoa dude, the floor is totally shifting. I'm tripping balls just from playing Guitar Hero."

Friend: Lolz, it's guitar hero syndrome.

2. "God, my wrists hurt. I shouldn't have played 'Through the Fire and Flames'."

3. Friend: "You know Even Flow by Pearl Jam? That's my favorite band!"

You: "Yeah, but it's only because I played Guitar Hero."

Friend: "Pfff."
