The Graduation Effect

The phenomenon in which an old piece of media is constantly brought up in defense of a washed up artist, only for that old piece of media to be nothing special. Famous examples include statements such as: "But Kanye made Graduation" or: "But M. Night Shyamalan made The Sixth Sense."
Dude, that album wasn't that great. You're just falling for The Graduation Effect.

Seinfeld Effect

The Seinfeld Effect is when a cultural work is so popular that many creators copy or take inspiration from it, making the original style common. As a result, when someone watches the original, it no longer feels special because they’ve already seen it repeated elsewhere.
"When I finally saw the original, it didn’t blow me away like I expected — the Seinfeld Effect had kicked in. I’d already seen so many versions of its ideas that it just felt familiar instead of groundbreaking."

blista effect

The effect when something looks really modest and is cheap or widespread, but in reality performs better than mor eexpensive counterparts. Coined after the famous Blista Compact car in GTA game series, that became widely known in the gaming community for looking really cheap and appearing everywhere on the map, but turning out to be one of the best car in-game, with incredible handling and speed-to-acceleration ratio.
It's also true with people who look shy but turn out awesome when you get a chance to know them better.
-I had a blista effect visiting these cheap Decathlon stores - the things perform much better than you would expect from something that cheep and looking so... cheap.

-Anna felt a blista effect after talking to Josh - he looked homely, but turned out to be an awesome guy.
