Hype Pushback

Hype Pushback
aka: HP

(noun)
A psychological resistance to watching, listening to, or engaging with something — purely because everyone else is obsessively hyping it up. The more people insist “you have to see it,” the less you want to.
🔹 “Everyone’s raving about that new sci-fi show, but I’ve got serious Hype Pushback. I’ll wait till it dies down.”

🔹 “I know the album’s probably amazing, but I can’t bring myself to listen — my HP’s off the charts.”

🔹 “It’s not that I hate it… I’m just allergic to hype. Classic Hype Pushback.”
