Soap Opera Worldview

A commonly held worldview that we're all the same deep down inside, and that we all strive for the same things. Typically reinforces normative values of right and wrong, yet framed as deep, revolutionary, or unique. Not necessarily bound to watchers of the soap opera genre. Generally, describes people who view everything through the lens of entertainment. Especially commonly held on Urban Dictionary and the internet at large. Usually, cannot be corrected through repeat social exposure, due to the shallow way in which those who hold these beliefs engage with others.
Sadly, many who view the world in this way seem to suffer from arrested psychological development, having the abstract thinking capabilities of an adolescent. "Mom, aren't my edgy, completely vapid opinions unique and cool?"
Brad: We all want sex deep down inside, right? We're all humans after all, or something. I think Oprah Winfrey said that one, maybe.
Asexual: Suffers in silent agony*
Brad: Say, Asexual, you're pretty cute.
Asexual: No thanks. I'm just not interested in that.
Brad: What are you, some kind of prude? Unless you ride my cock, I'm going to destroy your self-esteem! Nobody will accept you, unless you ride someone's cock!
Asexual: Well, that's the soap opera worldview for you. Repackaging the same tired filth in a kitschier way.

soap opera glasses

A way to discribe the interst you take in something, the way you might take interest in a soap opera can explain how you view some other interaction. It could be overhearing a conversation, watching others from a window, following a tabloid publication or a public personality. Given how the platform for communication has become the enormity that it now is, our ability to view has amplified and those sqare eyes that those of us were promised if we sat too close or watched too much TV has become a thing of truth as the world is viewed through a screen. The affluent would view their theatrical experiences from the boxes through opera glasses. The multi platfomed entertainment/media allows us to peer through into places denied us in prior times. So our ability to view life down the lense and how we view what we see in a certain respect can be viewed as seeing through or wearing soap opera glasses

soap opera effect

A term used to describe the hyper-realistic look of video content that can occur due to high frame rates or certain video processing settings, making everything appear overly smooth and artificial—similar to the visual style of daytime soap operas. This effect can detract from the intended cinematic experience.
I recently picked up all five seasons of The Twilight Zone on Blu-ray. It had been remastered in HD producing a crystal clear and perfect picture, but it was too clean. It was noticeable the show was filmed on a set and at times gave a 'soap opera effect'.

During a performance in a theatre two people engage in sexual activities on the catwalk above the stage. The moans echoing through the auditorium should resemble a howling spirit.

“That position is called The Phantom of the Opera.”
