A strong sense of patriotism one attains by listening to music from or about a country whom they usually have no association with.

Person 1: "Dude, I felt like a patriotic French guy when I was listening to The First Soldier."

Person 2: "yup, that's the Sabaton Effect for you."

The Chaparral Effect

When something that you would’ve never even imagined could become possible becomes possible. Things that are statistically impossible, but happen anyway.

The chaparral effect is real, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I checked my security footage from my small business and saw someone defecating in front of my shop at five in the morning on a random Monday.

The Green Hill Effect

When a piece of media uses a part of their past (an era, setting, etc) in order to gain more positive reactions from its fan-base through nostalgia and familiarity. This reaction stays until the novelty wears off & the fans gets tired of it.

"Billie Piper is the new Doctor Who!"
"Oh my god, when will they stop bringing back old characters? This is just The Green Hill Effect happening again!"
