Primary Overplay Syndrome

When a band/artist is played on the radio so much that that song/artist becomes hated, even if it/they are actually pretty good. I swear, overplay is not the artist's fault, just those crappy DJs that can't get their hands on anything better to play. Victims include:
Nickelback
Creed
Hinder
Slipknot
3Oh!3
Radio-only listener: Man, I fucking hate Nickelback!
Me: Don't say that! Nickelback is an awesome band. Many people like just suffer from Primary Overplay Syndrome.

overplayed his punt

Overplayed his punt; (v) When someone does something that ends up way more remarkable than his initial effort.
When you see a total dork-ass feeb with a hot chick, you say; Wow, that dude really overplayed his punt to end up with her!

It's like when a football team recovers the ball and scores on a kick away.

When a guy pulls of a terrible pick up line, but gets laid anyway.

Overland Park

Pretentious, shitty driver who pays extremely high taxes so they can have the most beautiful strip malls in the state. Irrelevant however because they only look at themselves all day oblivious to other people places and things. This is why they act entitled they haven't noticed they are just fucking Kansans that neighbor Gardner..? Come on ! Side note masturbation more popular than fornication. Terrible hair and awesome volvos
If this Overland Park doesn't move I'm gonna ram his Mercedes so he will look at something important

Overplay

Typically it means to play a song so much that your interest in it degrades, but the word's meaning is not limited to just music. Almost anything that you can "play" can become less interesting if you do it too much. Video games, sports, etc.

Unless you have a strong passion for something, then you normally can do it as much as you can and your interest in it will never decay. For example, gamers that somehow main the same game for years.

A very similar word is overuse.
Example 1: (Just imagine any song playing in a car) I mean this is a good song, but it's slightly annoying now because my favourite radio station overplays it. It's like every 5 minutes they play this goddamn song.
Example 2: I used to love Carpenter Brut to a point where I couldn't stop listening to their music. But i overplayed their songs so they're not as enjoyable as I remember.
