the sidekick effect

The crashing of multiple servers due to exponentially increased internet traffic.

In this case, because of the website: www.evanwashere.com/stolensidekick. This chronicles a man's struggle with ghetto people who stole his friend's cellular phone out of the back of a Taxi. Because of the events, and the backing from people all over the world via the Internet, multiple servers for forums and blogs were brought to their knees.

Dude, don't host on that server or it will experience the sidekick effect.

newjeans effect

The recent phenomenon where certain members of a K-pop group are not legal, but they look and dress like they were.

Hence the confusing effect causing males to justify liking girls that may not be of legal age.

"Bro she's like 15"
"I know, but have you seen her latest pics on insta? They're kinda wild man."
"Its the newjeans effect.."

The Disney Effect

When a company pushes out a movie, video game, etc that is either a direct sequel, remake, reboot, or an amazing brand new fully restored with 1,000 hours of extra bonus features platinum diamond edition of an older title; with the primary purpose of earning that much more cash, instead of letting it be or making another installment only because you actually have a good story worth telling.

commonly happens when another company takes over a popular franchise after it has run its course, and often times involves recasting roles instead of using the tried and true original cast, further reducing any credibility.

Most Disney sequels, The Force Unleashed 2, Evan Almighty, and recent installments from the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty series plus many more suffer from the Disney effect.

The new Red Dawn and upcoming Halo sequels will most likely suffer the same tragic fate.

Clarkson Effect

After-effects of pandemic pop music, named after Kelly Clarkson. The realization that the pop music in question is generally uncouth, and further attempts at a music taste cover-up or camoflage of other more (supposed) innocuous independent or indie music.

"Kimmie really loved the Killers and therefore the Clarkson Effect couldn't be stronger when she discussed her music tastes with the indie elitists"
