The Twitter Effect

When something unimportant is ovrhyped by the media until it reaches the mainstream, even though it adds nothing of value. Named after everyone and their mother decided to start using Twitter.

I am so sick of seeing MTV showing Kings of Leon music videos. They're such a mediocre band. Clearly, they're beneficiaries of The Twitter Effect.

The Twitter Effect

The Twitter Effect is an effect of spending time on the named app. Symptoms often include getting upset over mundane topics, or attempting to accuse someone of being ableist. It is highly infectious.

The Twitter Effect:
"the fact that there are people in COLLEGE still spelling definitely as defiantly. Like what do you even do about that"
"So you're ableist now?"
"Sure whatever"
