The Macarena Effect

When nobody knows the actual lyrics to a song, and they only like it because it sounds cool.
The Macarena Effect is, of course, named after the song of the same name. Most people only know two of the words in the entire song.

The PirateSoftware Effect

The effect in which a generally unpopular public figure disagrees with an idea. Thus detractors of said figure then start supporting or looking into the idea. Essentially someone who you think is so backwards to your own way of thinking, that anything they oppose, you will likely align with.
The petition would of never passed 1 million signatures if PirateSoftware didn't criticize it. Everyone thinks he's so stupid that the petition must be a noble cause! "The PirateSoftware effect" has been born

bleached-butthole effect

The bleached-butthole effect —

1. when a shocking, extreme and uncommon subject seems to be more prevalent and relevant than in actuality and receives disproportionate attention in public discourse, to the expense of normal but often critically important subjects
2. when some butthead exploits the bleached-butthole effect for profit, distracting our collective attention away from more relevant and important things, just so butthead and co. can make a buck
3. when the fourth estate promotes this drama, as they're in the business of keeping our attention, and distractions and theatrics are an effective means of doing so
He shamelessly exploited the bleached-butthole effect until he had dominated the collective attention span of the entire world for weeks on end.

Ivan Toney Effect

When a game is not going well for one team but a late substitution drastically improves the performance of that team (based on vibes alone). Based on the Euros 2024 England-Slovakia round-of-16 game - Ivan Toney came on for England at the last minute when England were losing to Slovakia. England went on to score two goals, progressing to the quarter finals.
Thank god he was substituted on, that's the Ivan Toney Effect.
