A book, television show or movie which seemed to be awesome when seen as a child but turn out to be unbearably shitty as an adult.
1. I tried to watch Voltron the other day. What a terrible show! I can't believe we watched that shit back in the day. Talk about Different Strokes Syndrome.
2. Jonathan Livingston Seagull gave me a total "I'm special" hard-on when I was 13. Due to Different Strokes Syndrome, I couldn't make it through the first chapter as an adult.

An expression meaning that everyone has their own way of doing things or approaching life. Often said in disagreement with how someone else has done things, but can also be said in a neutral or even positive fashion.

An extraordinarily cringey way to say that different people have different interests and unique preferences.
1: Can you believe he likes apple picking. That’s so boring. Like what is even fun about that?!
2: Well, I mean, different strokes for different folks.
