The Enter Sandman Effect

Joe: "Hey what's your favorite Metallica song?"
Alex: "Oh you know Enter Sandman."
Joe: " Really? I think Fade to Black or Master of Puppents is better."
Alex: "I've never heard those ones."
Joe: "The Enter Sandman Effect." *sigh*

The Magcon Effect

The unhealed part of women that will always choose a white boy even when there are significantly better options.

This is because over the past decade, Gen Z girls have grown up watching the unattainable Magcon boys (Cameron Dallas, Nash Grier, Jack Gilinsky, Shawn Mendes) and will never stop needing to prove to themselves that they can pull the token white boy.

Millenials, see “Chad Michael Murray Effect,” for further context on this phenomenon.

“Damn, I don’t even like white boys, but the Magcon effect has me picking Rob over Miguel.”
