loona effect

The conditioned aversion towards a thing due to the annoying followers.

Comes from the kpop girl group Loona, whose fanbase made it their mission to spread the word "Stan Loona" on each and every unrelated topic, ironic or not, thus annoying a lot of people who in response refused to even acknowledge the group itself.

1: man, everyone keeps talking about Game of Thrones. It's started to annoy me so much, I'll never want to watch it.
2: same fam, got the worst Loona effect.

The Zach Effect

The Zach Effect, also simply called Zach Effect is referring to when a guy gets a haircut, and because of that, looks younger. This often only applies to guys who had noticeably longer hair before their haircut. This is sometimes because the guy had short hair when they were younger, and has just got it back, but the effect can happen otherwise as well.

"Did you see Max's new haircut?"
"Yeah, dude. That's the Zach effect at work."

Hype Effect

An effect which occurs when one is anticipating an upcoming game. The need becomes so great that other games become dull and boring in comparison. In more serious cases it can affect the viewing of television programmes, making them seem less interesting as well. In the most severe cases it can affect the viewing of pornography in the same way.

The hype effect is kicking in. Nothing is fun anymore. Not Netflix, not even Pokémon. I can't go on like this.

The Maleficent DVD Effect

The Maleficent DVD effect is a term used to describe the immense fear of a fictional character that also might've resided from a passion for the character. This fear could reside in nightmares, resurfacing of old fears from your childhood, etc. This term stems from my huge fear of Maleficent as a kid, and how when I woke up early in the morning, went to the living room, and would see the cover for the Maleficent movie DVD, I'd be scared out of my mind. It caused me to hide under blankets on the floor because I thought I saw her shadow and cast away anything that had Maleficent on it. The thing was, I was the one who wanted the DVD because we saw a bit of it at a drive-in, and I didn't get to see the full movie, so I ultimately became terrified of something I was deeply interested in.

Someone: "Dude... I started hyperfixating on Carrie like a month ago, and now, at the slightest mention of Carrie, I get nightmares, and my fear of the dark comes back. My dad had to take away the book and tell me to stop watching stuff about Carrie because of how scared I'd get."
Someone Else: "Yeah, sounds like the Maleficent DVD effect man."
Someone: "Huh?"
Someone Else: "Basically a fear of a specific fictional character that you like."
Someone: "Oh."
