Homonym: Hype (Excitement)
Hype refers to the intense promotion or excitement surrounding a product, event, or idea. It often involves exaggerated claims or marketing strategies designed to generate interest and anticipation. Hype can be seen in various industries, including technology, fashion, and entertainment, where companies create buzz to attract consumers.
While hype can lead to increased sales or attendance, it can also result in disappointment if the actual experience does not meet expectations. This phenomenon is common in the launch of new gadgets, like the latest smartphone from Apple, or blockbuster movies, such as those from the Marvel franchise, where the buildup may overshadow the final outcome.
