Janis Joplin Syndrome is when a music group has a female singer that becomes just as if not more famous than the band she is in. Named after Janis Joplin who was originally a member of a blues revivalist group called Big Brother and the Holding Company. If you know anything about music history, you'd know that Janis left BBATHC after a 2-3 year stint with them to start a short lived but widely successful solo career.
70% of cases of JJS often end up with either the singer going solo (see The Supremes, No Doubt and Destiny's Child) or worse, the singer being the only original member left, somewhat like Axl Rose Syndrome (see Evanescence). Most of the time, all-girl bands are immune to JJS with a few exceptions such as the Bangles.

Get the Slow Nigga Syndromemug. A complex that inevitably consumes hot girls given the extra social leeway, gifts, and attention they receive throughout their lives. This goes to their head resulting in a distorted view of how important they are.
This directly relates to the hot-crazy scale and is generally the cause of the crazy axis of the scale. The hotter a girl is, the crazier they get because of society's unbalanced feedback towards their behavior.
The sad part is that inevitably, a girl's attractiveness will fade with time, but the mental damage caused by hot girl syndrome has already been done so you're left with an ugly, crazy woman long-term.

"Wow, that girl's at least a 9.5! I'm going to ask her out."
"Be careful man. She's hot, no doubt. It's highly unlikely she doesn't have hot girl syndrome. You really want to deal with that much crazy?"
