"Twilight Effect" is when something is given too much hype and credit. The object subject to the "Twilight Effect" is raved about to the point that the amount of praise actually reduces its credibility as well as its quality.
Person1: DUDE.
Person2: WHAT.
Person1: ONE DIRECTION, MAN.
Person2: WHAT ABOUT IT MAN.
Person1: THEY'RE TOTALLY THIS GENERATION'S BEATLES, MAN.
Person2: MAN, THAT SUCKS. I'M SORT OF DISGUSTED AT HOW PEOPLE THINK THAT. THIS REDUCES ITS CREDIBILITY AS WELL AS ITS QUALITY.
Person1: ?
Person2: MAN.
Person1: OH I GET YOU NOW MAN. TWILIGHT EFFECT, MAN.

Get the Twilight Effectmug. This saga has absolutely little to no plot except for a girl and guy supposedly falling in love. However, there are so many things wrong with this book that it's not even funny.
There are also too many rants about this book flooding Youtube, and all of them are, how I say, accurate when put intelligently.
This book features: vampires that are portrayed as blood-thirsty fairies; Two people falling in love only because they think the other is sexy; failure to understand the difference between a ware wolf and an animagus; a plot that has nearly no twists or turns; two tools to lure fangirls into wanting to believe that a vampire or ware wolf would be the perfect guy; six hundred paragraphs only talking about vampire eyes; and one author's sexual fantasy.
Let's not forget, it also portrays that a creepy abusive stalker boyfriend as the perfect guy.
That's only 8 out of many other reasons you should hate Twilight.

Person 1: I just wrote a book on my sexual fantasies!
Person 2: Oh great, not another twilight saga.
Person 1: Oh, No, I actually know what a Vampire is.
Person 2: that makes it a little better.
Person 1: I also know a ware wolf can't change at will. Besides I'm not even using those creatures.
Person 2: Better still, just don't publish it.

Get the Twilight sagamug. The flood of vampires and vampire related (and to a lesser extent, Stephanie-Meyer-related) themes and stories into American pop culture in the late 2000's due to the adaptation of the vampire novels in the "Twilight" series into film form, where women of all ages fell in love with pale, melodramatic people who sparkle in sunlight whilst not being able to act to save their lives.
The effects include, but are not limited to, various merchandise, such as action figures, documentaries, and games with the Twilight license, the dramatic increase in women of all ages at Comic-Con, The Vampire Diaries, Tru Blood, Stephanie Meyer and her adaptations getting green-lit, various vampire-themed comic books by Stephen King and Marvel

Comic Book Geek #1: Dude, the X-Men are going to be fighting vampires now? What the frak?
Comic Book Geek #2: Twilight Effect, indeed.

Get the Twilight Effectmug. A person who despite denying that they hate Twilight, the books, the movie, the actors etc... They are in complete love with it, and Twilight memorabilia can be found hidden in their homes.
They are also ashamed of buying the dvd in stores and tell cashiers when they buy them that it's "for a friend" when in reality its the fouth copy they are buying.

Get the Twilight denialmug. Amazon Review of Sophie Jordan's "Firelight", shows Twilight Syndrome in action:
"...She was far too much the super-special yet tragically misunderstood heroine from the get-go, a cardboard cut-out of a character that's getting dog-eared with overuse. Consequently, the cliche "forbidden romance" with the obligatory perfect love interest was contrived from the start. It smacks far too much of Twilight, whose romance nobody should be praising or trying to emulate. I wanted to be subtly and skillfully led into both the story and their relationship; instead I had it shoved at me. Needless to say I will not be reading beyond the few chapters I was prompted to try, and I will just have to hold out for another author to come along and do the opposite to dragons what Stephanie Meyer did do to vampires."

Get the Twilight Syndromemug. Can be related to any other teenie, for example a 'My Chemical Romance Teenie'.
Someone who has caught on to the craze of the 'Twilight' novel series by Stephanie Meyer and tries to catch up with the trend, but fails terribly. A Twilight Teenie will most likely read the first three chapters of 'Twilight', will not be bothered to read the rest and will find out what happens in 'Twilight' and the rest of the books by reading what it says on Wikipedia.
