genericide

A unique marketing predicament where a particular brand of a product becomes so common or dominant, its brand name becomes the generic term for the entire product category. Examples include Kleenex, Vaseline, Xerox, Windex and WD-40. Some trademarks have actually lost their legal protection in the U.S, including Aspirin, Thermos and zipper.
#1: "Hand me a Kleenex, would you please? I'm all stuffed up."

#2: "These are Puffs. Shouldn't you say 'facial tissue'?"

#1: "I just say Kleenex for all of them. The brand has committed genericide. Now just give me the damn Kleenex already, my nose is dripping!"

Generic Festival T-Shirt

When you go to a music or other festival, you will usually see people wearing a few different types of t-shirts. There will be several t-shirts (usually event t-shirts) that are the same at almost every festival you go to, hence they are common or generic to the festival. These hark back to the uniform wearing days of the festival going punter.
