Get the depiphany mug.The opposite of an epiphany. It's where instead of you suddenly realizing something, you continually feel more and more lost and further away from knowing what you thought you knew.
Chen had a depiphany during math class, when he failed a test he thought he aced, and as the teacher went over the test, he kept feeling more and more confused with what he thought he had figured out.

Get the Musical Epiphany mug.An epiphany (from the ancient Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance") is an experience of sudden and striking realization. Generally the term is used to describe scientific breakthrough, religious or philosophical discoveries, but it can apply in any situation in which an enlightening realization allows a problem or situation to be understood from a new and deeper perspective. Epiphanies are studied by psychologists and other scholars, particularly those attempting to study the process of innovation.
Epiphanies are relatively rare occurrences and generally follow a process of significant thought about a problem. Often they are triggered by a new and key piece of information, but importantly, a depth of prior knowledge is required to allow the leap of understanding. Famous epiphanies include Archimedes's discovery of a method to determine the density of an object ("Eureka!") and Isaac Newton's realization that a falling apple and the orbiting moon are both pulled by the same force.
