Public grief, memorial, and fondness to a person (usually a celebrity) for their good past memories, immediately after hearing recent news about the person's death—despite the same group of people having forgotten, hated, or otherwise disregarded the person immediately during the last period when he/she was still alive.
Billy: *Sad* Joe! Chester Bennington (singer of Linkin Park) and the Dad from Home Alone (John Heard) died just today. They were my childhood!
Joe: *Squinting with a smirk* Yeah, well, you never talked about John Heard before. I bet you never even knew his name until you saw that social media link. And just two days ago you said you hate Linkin Park's newest albums, and that the band sucks!
Billy: *Denying it* I never said that! What I really meant was...
Joe: Nevermind. It's the Chester Bennington Effect . Two days ago, everyone except for LP fans stopped talking about him or instead hated him. Only after he died was when people grieved about the loss of the singer of their previously-unspoken-about childhoods.

The place where it all starts...
A difficult child at best, fit neither for the cloth nor the pen, too dangerous to be unleashed upon society and too horrible to let live, but yet too brilliant and unique to destroy; He was eventually given over to The Ft. Benning School For Boys to receive the proper education and be brought up right -as both a savior and destroyer of man.

Vocalist of the band Linkin Park, formed in 1996. Born on March 20, 1976, Chester Bennington was the final addition to the band and has proven to be an essential asset to their fame. He was wed to Samantha Bennington on October 31st, 1996 and would have been married to her for eight years, this year. However, recently, the finalization of their divorce was made public and they are currently fight for custody of Draven Bennington, the couple's first and only child.
In today's music business, Chester's voice was a breath of fresh air; flawless and beautiful, even despite the screaming. Many believe that the band would not be where they are, today, without Chester's voice.
