The Anna Nicole Smith Effect

A modern variation of The Jesus Effect, wherein the majority of people dont care about someone or even like the person(and often disliking them) until they die and then they do a 180 by now worshipping the deceased person and speaking highly of them. They will often go on about how good the person was and act like they didnt dislike/hate/not care about the person the day before they were dead.

A more recent variant of this is "The Harambe Effect"

"Harambe deserved a chance, but they killed him in cold blood."
"This is the Anna Nicole Smith Effect all over again, you didnt care about that monkey but now it dies and youre all about apes rights... Hokay."

Blur effect

A "blur effect" is a psychological state in which an individual experiences a distorted perception of reality, causing everything and everyone in their surroundings to appear hazy and indistinct. This condition is often marked by narcissistic and bipolar tendencies, as the person becomes detached from others, seemingly looking past everyone, and is primarily focused on their own emotions and desires, causing disruptions in their relationships and behaviors.

In the midst of the blur effect, the individual's world becomes a hazy and disconnected realm where everything and everyone appear indistinct, and they predominantly fixate on their own emotions and desires, exhibiting narcissistic and bipolar tendencies.

The Fueled By Ramen Effect

The “Fueled By Ramen” Effect refers to the idea that whenever a band gets signed to the record label Fueled By Ramen, their sound becomes a lot more pop-oriented and generic. The idea seemed to cement itself in reality shortly after Fueled By Ramen joined the umbrella label Elektra in 2018.

Person 1: “Yo, are you excited for the new Waterparks album?”
Person 2: “Nah, the Fueled By Ramen Effect got to them. The new stuff just doesn’t hit as hard.”

The Teejer Effect

A Minecraft player who censors other players when he is proven wrong or disagrees with the topic at hand. Targets individuals who he isn't fond of and strikes, finding any way possible to remove them from his life. A man with a massive ego, feels that because of his higher position he can ditch his old friends and become friends with people in higher places, only to look down upon his old friends and act as though they are toxic and disrespectful when they share jokes and have fun. Worse than feminazi in terms of censorship.

"My friend was exposed to the Teejer Effect, now he doesn't like me because I try and joke around with him."
"Mark Pat-Joe Bill-Dinosaur was banned by the guy caught in the Teejer Effect because he proved the latter wrong."
