The phenomenon Kulap and Howard were talking about when bringing up Bassnectar is known as frequency illusion (the tendency to notice instances of a particular phenomenon once one starts to look for it, and to therefore believe erroneously that the phenomenon occurs frequently). This is also referred to as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
