Popularity Swing

Can be used to define when the popularity of a product or service gains momentum to another product due to the hype being switched over.

John: I'm using myspace right now it's the best.
Joe: No, you should use facebook because everyone is using that now.
John: Since everyone is using that I guess I will switch over then.

If people switch from Call of Duty to Battlefield 3 there is a popularity swing because all of their friends are playing that one game.

popularity contest

n. What you get when you take two dogs, three cats and a sack and shake vigorously

When I was in seventh grade, everything was a popularity contest. If you had too few friends, if you were too mean, too nice, too perky, too apathetic, too anything, you were a weirdo or a freak.

False Popularity

False popularity is the illusion of being popular. This is when supporters do not actually believe in the person/thing they seem to be supporting. This is often caused by the supporters feeling forced or as if they have to support someone.

*Photos*on*Facebook* "LIKE AND SHARE IF YOU LOVE GOD; KEEP SCROLLING IF YOU WANT TO BURN IN HELL". This makes most people feel like they have to like and share the photo, thus making this false popularity.
