Bashmore Effect

When a song or track you like has been so overplayed you begin to dislike or hate it. Also happens to the song you choose as your alarm.

Named after the producer Julio Bashmore, as his track 'Au Seve' became horrendously overplayed on Radio 1, turning love for the track into hatred.
