The Boogie Effect

The Boogie Effect is a state of mind a player of a video game enters in which they entirely fail to and cease attempting to communicate with their teammates and attempt to handle the threat entirely on their own - whether by choice or natural instinct.

“Bro! You just got us killed!!” “Sorry man, it was the boogie effect taking over.”

The Maleficent DVD Effect

The Maleficent DVD effect is a term used to describe the immense fear of a fictional character that also might've resided from a passion for the character. This fear could reside in nightmares, resurfacing of old fears from your childhood, etc. This term stems from my huge fear of Maleficent as a kid, and how when I woke up early in the morning, went to the living room, and would see the cover for the Maleficent movie DVD, I'd be scared out of my mind. It caused me to hide under blankets on the floor because I thought I saw her shadow and cast away anything that had Maleficent on it. The thing was, I was the one who wanted the DVD because we saw a bit of it at a drive-in, and I didn't get to see the full movie, so I ultimately became terrified of something I was deeply interested in.

Someone: "Dude... I started hyperfixating on Carrie like a month ago, and now, at the slightest mention of Carrie, I get nightmares, and my fear of the dark comes back. My dad had to take away the book and tell me to stop watching stuff about Carrie because of how scared I'd get."
Someone Else: "Yeah, sounds like the Maleficent DVD effect man."
Someone: "Huh?"
Someone Else: "Basically a fear of a specific fictional character that you like."
Someone: "Oh."

The Genesis Effect

1. To be greatly influenced by peers of excelling academics. 2. The act of complaining about minor and unnecessary scholarly relations, and exaggerated stress levels relating to academics; anxiety-based overachieving.

Why are you complaining about a 90? Looks like Sonia has given you the Genesis effect.

The Chad Michael Murray Effect

The unhealed trauma within millennial women that makes them choose a white boy even when there are significantly better options.

This is because these women have grown up with stars like Chad Michael Murray, Brody Jenner, Zac Efron, etc., leading women to constantly feel the need to prove to themselves that they can pull the token white boy.

Gen Z girls, please see The Magcon Effect for further context on this phenomenon.

“Damn, Zac Efron is not even cute now, but I would still pick him because of the Chad Michael Murray Effect.”
