Also: Hype Casting
When an influencer, actor, or actress is cast in a role regardless of whether or not they're right for the role instead based on their trending status.
i.e. Pedro Pascal, Timothy Chalamet, and Zendaya were cast in the majority of blockbuster films in the early 2020s based on their ability to attract audiences and box office revenue regardless of their suitability for the role, or in some instances their talent.
Unlike Type Casting where an actor is reliably cast in a particular role.
i.e. the Action Hero is played by Jason Statham, regardless of the film

I wish they would put more effort into casting now a days it seems they just want to put the most Instagram, and Tiktok famous people in movies man, it sucks. Hype Casting totally ruins movies, cast people who can actually act!

A videogame boss seen on the cover of the game, mentioned in the lore or hyped up when the game released or is releasing, and these bosses end up being the most easiest boss you encounter ever in the game.
These bosses could have the most disturbing lore that sounds like a serial killer documentary, most big ass weapon or is a dead necrotic skeleton king who pulled as many women as he wanted, yet you defeat them on first or second try.
These bosses are usually in souls-borne games such as Elden Ring or Dark Souls.

Person: Damn I just got this game yesterday and I'm almost done with it and the dragon on the games cover uhh what was his name? Oh yeah, it was "Stormslayer" he was very easy bruh. I checked the wiki and this boss had like 3000 HP.
Person2: Goddamn that's a Hype-up Boss

When you're intensely dedicated to solving a mathematical question but physically can not stay awake. You take a nap and attempt to solve the question in your dreams.
Hey man, I couldn't prove the equation until I took a hype nap and then all I had to do was write it down.

Good thing we had our hype keeper Joe for this party. The crowd was starting to fade away interest after zero sound or lasers.
