Hype Vulture

Hipsters that circle potential sources of culture, swooping in whenever something begins to generate hype and ruining said thing for the rest of us. Once something is attacked by a hype vulture, all further observers must be wary of being accused of being a hype vulture themselves.

I went to the WU LYF show but it was full of hype vultures.

Hype-up Boss

A videogame boss seen on the cover of the game, mentioned in the lore or hyped up when the game released or is releasing, and these bosses end up being the most easiest boss you encounter ever in the game.

These bosses could have the most disturbing lore that sounds like a serial killer documentary, most big ass weapon or is a dead necrotic skeleton king who pulled as many women as he wanted, yet you defeat them on first or second try.
These bosses are usually in souls-borne games such as Elden Ring or Dark Souls.

Person: Damn I just got this game yesterday and I'm almost done with it and the dragon on the games cover uhh what was his name? Oh yeah, it was "Stormslayer" he was very easy bruh. I checked the wiki and this boss had like 3000 HP.
Person2: Goddamn that's a Hype-up Boss

Friend: “ did you hear Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine and Tobey Maguire Spider-Man is going to be a Deadpool 3!?”

Friend 2: “no I didn’t, I think that’s just a bunch of ghost hype.”

Hype fucking

The act from a third party of interfering and/or ruining the final expression of hype and enjoyment in regards to a product release, service release or activity in an incompetent or malicious way while it would've been a success otherwise.

Person 1: "OMG, these scalpers totally hype fucked the release of the new line-up of GPUs!"
Person 2: "Ikr! These people are proper asshats."

Person 1: "A Youtuber I used to follow decided it was ok to spread misinformation about new game releases for clicks..."
Person 2: "Seems some people really love hype fucking these releases with their channels while getting rich in the process. Wow."

Person 1: "Hiya! You finally downloaded the game we were going to play together, right?! Wanna play right now?"
Person 2: "No I need to finish something else first and I'll be really busy upcoming days. One guy I've been doing a group project with didn't do his part of the job properly so now I need go ahead and do it. I'm really sorry."
Person 1: "Wow really? I've been so looking forward to playing together. What a hype fuck!"
