hypecast

A portmanteau of hype and typecast, hypecasting is where a company adopts a popular song as a theme song for its commercials, running them for so long a period of time or so frequently that whenever one hears the song, one cannot help but think of the company who co-opted it. Often the corporation will take a specific line of the song and focus on that section of the song to the exclusion of the rest of its lyrics, effectively "typecasting" the song as the theme song of said company, overruling the song's original message.

Bob Seger's song "Like a Rock" got hypecast by Chevrolet.

Hypetastic

Used to describe a noun that is both hype and fantastic. This person, place or thing that you speak of is just so great and exciting that you want EVERYONE to immerse themselves in it, to just bask in the thrill. Not to be confused with something that is just "all hype" This is the good hype, with good outcomes, something that you shouldn't be afraid to get all excited about, to vibe with.

Someone: Hey what's gooood
Someone else: Listen to SZA if u wanna get HYPE. So hypetastic
Someone: Hypetastic...you should define that on urban dictionary
Someone else: Her album Ctrl...HYPETASTIC

Hype Cast

Also: Hype Casting
When an influencer, actor, or actress is cast in a role regardless of whether or not they're right for the role instead based on their trending status.

i.e. Pedro Pascal, Timothy Chalamet, and Zendaya were cast in the majority of blockbuster films in the early 2020s based on their ability to attract audiences and box office revenue regardless of their suitability for the role, or in some instances their talent.

Unlike Type Casting where an actor is reliably cast in a particular role.
i.e. the Action Hero is played by Jason Statham, regardless of the film

I wish they would put more effort into casting now a days it seems they just want to put the most Instagram, and Tiktok famous people in movies man, it sucks. Hype Casting totally ruins movies, cast people who can actually act!
