			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two related, but separate observations and the names I&#8217;ve attached to them.</p>
<p><strong>Inverse Bridge Effec</strong>t (Also, <strong>Rebel Syndrome</strong>) — wherein someone does something or makes a choice because everyone else is doing the opposite. Named from the motherly question &#8220;if everyone else jumped of a bridge, would you, too?&#8221; The inverse being &#8220;would you jump of a bridge because everyone else <em>isn&#8217;t</em>?&#8221;<br />
Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Refusing to use a Mac just because everyone else seems to be</li>
<li>The near immediate urge to point out downfalls in what everyone perceives to be a Good Thing™, or conversely, to defend what everyone else is bashing (commonly in message boards)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Indie Band Anomoly</strong> — Suddenly developing a dislike for something previously liked once it becomes popular.<br />
Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Seeking out alternatives to Google just because they&#8217;re now No. 1 in search</li>
<li>Nearly every emo kid ever</li>
<li>Most social networking sites (&#8220;Oh, everyone&#8217;s on Facebook, I use such-and-such now!&#8221;)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.dieselsweeties.com/cast.shtml">Indie Rock Pete</a></li>
</ul>
