The Fueled By Ramen Effect

The “Fueled By Ramen” Effect refers to the idea that whenever a band gets signed to the record label Fueled By Ramen, their sound becomes a lot more pop-oriented and generic. The idea seemed to cement itself in reality shortly after Fueled By Ramen joined the umbrella label Elektra in 2018.

Person 1: “Yo, are you excited for the new Waterparks album?”
Person 2: “Nah, the Fueled By Ramen Effect got to them. The new stuff just doesn’t hit as hard.”

The Chad Michael Murray Effect

The unhealed trauma within millennial women that makes them choose a white boy even when there are significantly better options.

This is because these women have grown up with stars like Chad Michael Murray, Brody Jenner, Zac Efron, etc., leading women to constantly feel the need to prove to themselves that they can pull the token white boy.

Gen Z girls, please see The Magcon Effect for further context on this phenomenon.

“Damn, Zac Efron is not even cute now, but I would still pick him because of the Chad Michael Murray Effect.”
