Don't believe the hype 

Ignore the media, marketing, buzz, or rumors around a story, object or person -- it's nothing special. From the 1988 Public Enemy single "Don't Believe The Hype", which fought back against negative press about the band.
"Is the new Star Wars movie any good?"
"Nah, don't believe the hype"

i am the hype 

What you scream into the ears and faces of all that dont believe the genuine leap in skill you just experienced.
Alternatively, either when you know solidly you're more than capable and people question it even in the face of concrete evidence, or when you are indeed a bad ass but your self image is a tad less than your actual self.
Trunks: Do you believe your own hype?!
Vegeta: I AM THE HYPE!!!

The hype is real 

When the momentem is overwelming and the hype hits you and it is real.
"Yes ... and the games were hype. we all were hype. THE HYPE IS REAL"

Down for the hype 

Someone who is down to party or just live without giving a fuck. Khalid uses it in 'American teen'.
"I think we should invite them to the party, they look down for the hype"

The Hype 

a term used to describe someone, normally an average white girl, on tiktok who has gained a large amount of fame in a short amount of time for doing literally nothing. people then use the term to say “the hype is gone”, “the hype has been transferred”, “i don’t get the hype” which is honestly really annoying.
Charli used to have the hype, i mean at least she can dance, now that girl that pretends to be happy all the time has it.

Who’s next?
Probably another white girl.
