Rock star syndrome(R*S)
a mental illness(most often occurring in drummers) in which the following symptoms may occur: when some one who plays an musical instrument (ussually has not been playing that long, about 3 months to a year, and ussually only wants to play music for fame) starts to think that they are amazing on their instrument when in reality they suck, this disease causes the player to be extremely cocky and full of themselves and can prevent a person from hearing their flaws, preventing from getting any better at playing. If rock star syndrome is left untreated it may become permanent and lead to drummers block a victim of R*S usually will not accept advice or constructive criticism about their music.
another symptom of R*S is impulsive buying of unneeded music gear in hopes that it will make you sound better(I.E. a drummer buying 5 new cymbals and a new snare or a guitarist buying a 600 dollar effects pedal)
there are few treatments available for rock star syndrome. one is to hope that the victim just realizes their suck-ness on their own. since victims dont take advice well, it would be useless to just tell them they have R*S

It's when all of a sudden a dork makes a change to his life/style and he thinks he's cool and superior to all and allows himself to be rude to others. Deep down, he's still a dork. It's similar to an AFC trying to become a PUA.
Ozren came to school with gel in his hair and nice clothes. Now he doesn't talk to his old friends. He is deeply affected by the rockstar syndrome.

Someone who is very popular, well loved, and often a social butterfly that is often if not always overcome with terrible feelings of loneliness even in a room of adoring fans.
