This phrase/word was coined to describe the state of social media influencers today that focus more on toxic traits. Unfortunately, when given such a platform to preach from, you get a few bad apples. Well, few is also a relative term. The "Influenza-encer" knowingly or unknowingly spreads social sickness through the mindsets and products they promote.
The real fear is that this influenza (sickness) from the influenza-encer spreads rapidly. You will see this in real time with trends and movements that clearly do more harm than good from an outside perspective. Young people are particularly vulnerable to this persons influenza.
The term was originally used by Mack Harrison in "The Coffee Song" to paint the differences from a "normal girl" he is pursuing vs. the largely growing population of shallow and plastic individuals.
While it is implied onto a female in this song, it is important to note that this term applies equally to male and female culprits. Try to do better everyone.
