MJ effect

The MJ effect is a phenomenon experienced originally by the generation born after Michael Jackson’s prime. These are fans who wish they had seen MJ and been there while he was alive but unfortunately since he’s no longer here so they start looking up to and clinging onto artists in their generation as a means of hope. The MJ effect can happen to anyone who’s idol is not around anymore

Michael was roasted in highschool for liking MJ, they kept reminding him he’s dead so he experienced the MJ effect and he became attached to The Weeknd as his new idol

Tutu Effect

The Tutu Effect: n. The phenomenon of misremembering the Mandela Effect, named after Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who many people falsely remember as being Nelson Mandela. This is often caused by confusing the two prominent South African leaders who were active during the anti-apartheid movement. Can also refer to misremembering details about other events or people that are similar in nature. Additionally, it can also refer to meta-irony, where people recognize that they are having a 'Tutu Effect' moment.

I was convinced that Charlize Theron was in the movie 'Aeon Flux' but my friend corrected me and said it was actually Margot Robbie. I must have fallen victim to the Tutu Effect.
