New relationship energy (NRE)is the euphoria phase of the first 2 months to 1 year or honey moon phase. During this time you will have a strong chance of ruining your life. By either having babies, getting married, or moving in together. When the bubble burst people usually realize they share no common values, or overlooked over very deep character flaws. NRE is the most powerful emotion you can experience.

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
