Has it ever happened that you were waiting for something? For example, the World Cup in Russia, and now the calendar came up on the same date! But personal expectations are one thing, and when public excitement is created, it is different. We’ll talk about the latter, because “excitement” fell into our area of attention, what kind of noun and phenomenon is it, we will analyze today.
Origin
Can you distinguish a Frenchman from a Russian only if each of them does not bear any distinguishing features, for example, is not wrapped in its own flag? Agree, such an operation is difficult. Thinking, rather, works the opposite: when you are told that this person is a Frenchman, you are looking for some distinctive signs. With the words a different story: they can be seen immediately.
According to the explanatory dictionary, the word appeared in the first half of the 19th century and meant a stock game. Those who saw what kind of madness is happening on the stock exchange when the game is in progress will not be surprised that the word later acquired the meaning “artificially induced excitement, excitement”. Usually, excitement builds up around an object or someone else's interests. But the easiest way to illustrate the excitement (that is - we consider in this publication) on the example of a pop star concert. If someone did not understand, then France was mentioned not in vain, because it was from there that the word came to us.
Value
But we connect the example and the meaning of the explanatory dictionary. Let's start with the latter, and then tell you about a hypothetical situation. So, the definition of "hype":
- Artificially caused excitement, excitement to draw attention to something (or someone).
- Artificial, speculative increase or decrease in the price of exchange-traded securities or commodity prices in order to profit.
The concept of deficit in the Soviet sense, thank God, is a thing of the past, now the consumer still needs to prove that he must spend his hard-earned money on this or that. For example, there is no book, not because it is forbidden, but because the circulation is sold out.
But we promised a pop star. Imagine a provincial town, and suddenly Elton John arrives there! Can you imagine how the hype will begin? But, it is true, it must be said that it will begin only when information about the arrival is distributed among the residents. In this case, seething and screams about an extra ticket will really begin. And if you arrange the world celebrity information isolation, then no excitement will not happen. In other words, people will not know, the hype is what it is, without the corresponding premises.
