The Pygmalion Effect explains that people tend to perform up to the level that others expect of them. This effect explains why our relationships are usually self-fulfilling prophecies. Once you set expectations for somebody, that person will tend to live up to that expectation, whether it's good or bad.
But the Pygmalion Effect also applies to your personal growth. Your beliefs about yourself impact your actions towards others, which influence their beliefs about you and their actions towards you.

Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. ... In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Weezer Effect refers to when Weezer comes on the radio and you always want it to be a different song. Whether they put on the Africa cover or "Say It Ain't So" you'll never be happy
Damn why are they playing Buddy Holly? I want to hear Undone right now.

When you play a game for so long that it isn't as appealing as it used to be when you first started, and you yearn for that past claiming "It was better" when really, you want to relive the feeling of discovery.
Gamer 1: Dude, I miss the old TF2. It was sooo much better!
Gamer 2: Nah, you just miss the past. It's The Nostalgia Effect, man.
