The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.
For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

I couldn’t recall the name, but was explaining this effect to my son the other day. He was talking about the show The Good Place and joking that people seemed to now often be doing what the show was teaching us not to do, and that the writers must been good at seeing where the world was headed. I explained to him how it was actually commentary on the state of the world at the time, now that he was aware of it, he saw how prevalent it was.
