sympathy anger

when a friend or acquaintance's anger rubs off on you and you become angry about the same thing

Me: I hated T.Swift when she played country music. It made me viscerally upset. She was so annoying.
Friend: Ugh I know! Every time I changed the radio station her country song was on in a different phase. I couldn't escape it. It was terrible. God, I'm pissed about it all over again!
Me: Bro, you have mad sympathy anger right now.
