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 Pyro Effect

Also called the 'Domino'-effect. Originates from the famous historian Lord Pyro the 42nd. He would have one of his frequently-seen periods of rage, and this feeling would stick to others. Happened a lot during wars and outings. He would later assault his team-mates, with only one type of weapon, which has spawned the term "One-item".

A: Great, my character just died. I don't want to play anymore.
B: Careful of The Pyro effect now.
