When a company moves to an area that is somewhat removed from other economic zones and the number of potential workers that are moving to the region is so large that it swamps the local economy, causing shortages in major infrastructure such as housing and vehicles for sale.

Get the Tesla Effect mug.by Joseph Jaggard August 10, 2016
Get the The Amber Effect mug.A fandemic spreading through the global true crime community since the murder suspect's arrest. Also, the uncontrollable urge to psychoanalyze a murder suspect who has not plead guilty and not yet been found guilty of murder. It can lead to making up stories and spreading online gossip about the suspect which cannot be proven to be true because the judge placed a gag order on everyone involved with the case. This contagion can lead to creation of videos that may not age well, and may end up in slander/libel lawsuits in the future. The desired effect is for the videos to gain followers and views to their channels, while also convicting the suspect through their chosen media. Ironically, this can all lead to the suspect being exonerated in the end.

Get the the playingo effect mug.When something ubearable and disgusting becomes extremely popular only because it's... popular.
This usally happens when the popular kids at some schools take interest in something (those kids are dumbasses and have no sence of judgement) stumble across something they see on MTV or something and fall in love with it. The popularity will spread through America (and sometimes the world, like this definition's name sake: Harry Potter). The people's minds will be convinced that they like what they are seeing/hearing/reading/watching. If these objects were not popular, anybody who would have been a fan would notice how horrible it really is.

Harry Potter, Mad TV, Avril Lavigne, Lil Jon and the Eastside Boys, Ashlee Simpson, Hillary Duff, and Dragon Ball Z are all products of the Potter Effect.
