Fellow Kids Effect

The phenomenon where attempts by outsiders (often older generations, authority figures, or brands) to adopt the language, style, or trends of youth culture are perceived by the in-group as forced, inauthentic, and cringeworthy.

You see that new Geico commercial that used the word Skibidi? That was some Fellow Kids effect shit right there.

anchoring effect

The anchoring effect is a psychological phenomenon in which an individual's judgments or decisions are influenced by a reference point or "anchor" which can be completely irrelevant, e.g. the status symbol gained by owning an iPhone on your hand.

With anchoring effect, if a person sees a luxury item priced high first, they may perceive a subsequent similar item as a bargain, even if the latter is still expensive.

The Maddy Effect

The my eyes are up here effect.

Someone who will make any man do a double take, and any taken man not be allowed to go out anymore. Maddy is someone with an excellent personality, and also an EXCELLENT personality.

“My boyfriend left me for her.”
“Yeah that’s the Maddy Effect.”
