Fellow Kids Effect

The phenomenon where attempts by outsiders (often older generations, authority figures, or brands) to adopt the language, style, or trends of youth culture are perceived by the in-group as forced, inauthentic, and cringeworthy.

You see that new Geico commercial that used the word Skibidi? That was some Fellow Kids effect shit right there.

Tunison Effect

A more extreme version of the Streisand Effect, the Tunison Effect occurs when someone is so self unaware as to not realize their constant whining about a very ignorable problem only calls further attention to the problem.

Mike’s incessant whining about something that happened a decade ago and everyone else has forgotten about only creates a bigger Tunison Effect.
