The feeling or fear that you really should have heard about an Internet personality/sensation/fad/trend before you actually did
I JUST found out about Ze Frank, Wintergatan and Seth Everman, and everyone else is like "duh…" How could I possibly have missed them for so long? Total jamais vu!

A "here we go again" bu**s**t-occurrence dat usually happens during normal waking hours, but this time is taking place after da sun went down.
Da thickly-bearded Geico dude would easily be able to see da "nightjà vu" of a lighted "so easy, even a caveman could do it" advertising-sign; he'd feel similarly disgusted and humiliated as he would if it had merely been a sunlight-illuminated wall-poster.

Maybe that's why we get deja Vu...you have a dream in your subconscious while you're sleeping, but since your brain experienced that for such a long time, your conscious self starts to pick similarities and scenarios out from your environment. And because most of the time it's identical, you feel that you've been through that before. But you don't remember it because you have a dream in your subconscious mind, not your conscious mind, and although they're technically connected to each other, your subconscious experiences have very little affect on your conscious memory. Maybe that's why you sometimes wake up and find out you woke up in the middle of the night and did something weird, but you don't remember it, because at the time, you're consciousness is stuck in some kind of limbo.
Frank: "hey Ricky?"
Ricky: "ya, Frank?"
Frank: "I feel like this happened already"
Ricky: "Deja Vu?"
Frank: "Deja Vu"
Ricky: "ya, Frank?"
Frank: "I feel like this happened already"
Ricky: "Deja Vu?"
Frank: "Deja Vu"

When targeted advertising or other machine learning causes your online experience to reflect your real life in a creepy way.

- Total data vu, man.
