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.

Get the Chester Bennington Effect mug.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.

Get the Chester Bennington mug.A public high school in Burlington, Vermont with 1150 students from 9th-12th grade. School colors are blue & white. Officially called Burlington International High School for a day, due to all of the diversity in the school, including many refugees. Consists of 5 different buildings, labeled A-E, each 2-3 floors each and connected by glass walkways. There is a courtyard out front, and in the center, and a new state of the art field. A place where everyone goes to class high, or drunk, the librarians are hell, and everyone either is chill, or wants to be.
