On the 45th episode of the Trash Taste Podcast (hosted by Connor "CDawgVA" Colquhoun, Joey "TheAnimeMan" Bizinger, and Garnt "Gigguk" Maneetapho), Gigguk describes his chronic condition of being indifferent when a highly-anticipated game (that he intensively follows for an extended period of time) is released. This leads him to coin a new term: "hype fatigue."
Attempt at a formal definition: when one's hopes and expectations in a game, show, or etc. transitions from a fanatic following into abject indifference when the final product is finally released.
Casual definition: getting so hyped that you eventually tucker yourself out and can no longer hype
"Cyberpunk2077 is coming out in 2 months! The development seems to be going well. I can't wait!"
(two months later) "Release date has been pushed back for another month. That's alright."
(one month later) "Another month. This game is gonna be sooooo good!"
(four months later) "... The game released. But I kinda want to play something else. Hype Fatigue is a bitch."
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
