Watering The Wallflowers 

When someone flirts with unpopular people just to get attention.
"It's all false love and affection, you don't want me, you just like the attention", is a good way to put it.
"See that girl? She's just Watering The Wallflowers... Poor guy"

The Wallflower Effect 

When you take a quotable book and make a movie adaption and then white girls in their flocks watch it and quote it till it is exhausted (other activites include writing the quote on various surfaces and places and uploading it to instagram, making galaxy gifs with the quotes, getting cliched tattoos, etc).

The term is dubbed so due to the effect on teenage girls everywhere after the Perks Of Being A Wallflower was adapted into a film 13 years after the release of the book.

'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green is likely to go through this effect
Example 1:

Kelly: I just got my new tattoo!
Scott: Oh cool, what of?
Kelly: Oh it's one of those sideways 8's and it says 'In That Moment, I swear we were Infinite'
Scott: wtf dumb hoe

Example 2:
(This hasn't happened but it will, I'm sure)
Jenny: Oh I didn't know you smoked you should probably do that outside though
Hannah: I don't smoke. It's a metaphor, I put the killing thing in my mouth but I don't give it the power to kill me <3
Jenny: ???????? *confused because wtf and how did she just do an internet heart in real life*
Hannah: It's a metaphor~~ <3 Augustus Waters <3

These are both examples of The Wallflower Effect

exerpts from the perks of being a wallflower
"I feel infinite."
"I don't want to start thinking again. Not like I have this last week. I can't think again. Not ever again.
I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."

the perks of being a wallflower 

An amazing book that is especially beloved by angsty teenagers. Because of its following, people who are trying to be individuals will say that it's not actually good.
Angsty teenager: The Perks of Being a Wallflower is so great!
"Individual": No, it's not.
Angsty teenager: What's wrong with it?
"Individual": Um... a lot of people like it, so it can't be good.
