The Graduation Effect

The phenomenon in which an old piece of media is constantly brought up in defense of a washed up artist, only for that old piece of media to be nothing special. Famous examples include statements such as: "But Kanye made Graduation" or: "But M. Night Shyamalan made The Sixth Sense."

Graduation

In the words of Etta James, At last... we graduate as to celebrate the achievements and the efforts we put in all those years. To celebrate the end of an era means to celebrate a new beginning. A new beginning in the next chapters of our lives that sucked so bad where you are broke most of the time, anxious and borderline depressed, lonely and again broke cus taxes suck real bad.
I graduated with honors.. and in honor of my allowances that I will no longer receive
Congratulations on your graduation! who would've thought that your degree won't be of any use in the society that provides you no opportunities to succeed if you have none!

You graduated? you are officially an unproductive member of society! cheers

After the excitement of graduation wore off, I found myself hit hard by post-graduation blues, feeling lost and anxious about what to do next in life.

Google Graduate

Any person of any gender or race with or without any formal education who relies solely upon Google to provide them with every bit of knowledge they have and even goes as far as to insult others who have themselves a smartphone but ask others what something or or what something means. These same people will use their superior knowledge in which Google has bestowed them with to boast a about themselves all about a lifestyle they promote and will even mock college educated individuals on topics that those individuals went to college for simply because they know more than them based on what Google told them.
Man, you sure gotta love them Google graduates. They sure think they know everything simply because they can type it in on their phone and look it up. Maybe if that was the case trans-women would know more about Klinefelter's Syndrome and would no who they really are.
