Mainstream Hypnosis Syndrome

A made-up but seemingly real phenomenon in where some tasteless, generic media or physical item (be it music, tv, literature etc.) which achieves way more attention and profits than which it deserves. It stays at the forefront of media attention from a mere 2 days (not so much a problem) all the way through several decades (major annoyance). This syndrome gets its' name from the fact that most modern mainstream media seems to hypnotise a large percentage of the population into becoming their slaves/army, often shooting way out of their target demographics. Over the past 5 decades, this syndrome has become more and more apparent, eventually leading to conflicting media/physical items and online wars that no-one cares about. Now, this power can either be used for bad, malicious, world controlling purposes such as Justin Bieber and Call of Duty or good, constructive development such as Minecraft and Gangnam Style.

It is currently unknown how people and corporations utilise this formula, but love/relationships are somehow involved in every single one. (Justin Bieber's songs, Avatar's romance, most Nick/Disney programs, a certain former little girl's cartoon that involves horses' current generation etc. Even small, obscure references to love such as Tetris' love heart in the high score screen can count. Another possible factor is that following its' popularity, metric fucktons of merchandise are produced, all the way from keychains to butt plugs.

1. Oh my god, did you see Justin Bieber last night? He totally hypnotised us with his bad voice and Canadian beaver teeth. I'll go buy 20 of his custom brand dildos for absolutely no reason!

Hypnosis

The art of becoming entirely aware of who you are. When in this state, you can change anything about yourself. You can make yourself feel extremely light, extremely heavy, and even change some emotional properties, such as making yourself feel happy or sad.

Hypnosis is commonly used by psychologists to help patients cope with their problems. Hypnosis is also known to rid of any addictions you might have.

Unlike meditation, in hypnosis you do not focus on one thing.

I hypnotised myself and I made myself feel like I was flying. It was a truly enjoyable experience.

harmonic hypnosis

Psychological effect that results from listening to the same piece of audio for a long period of time. Small changes in pitch and inflection become unnoticeable, which creates the auditory illusion that the sound is near perfect or flawless in pitch. This effect is extremely common in sound engineering and music production.

"Hey man, listen to this mix."
"That sounds way off. Is it even in the same key?"
"Yeah I must've gotten a little harmonic hypnosis after editing all night."
