The phenomenon you are referring to is called the "Baader-Meinhof phenomenon," also known as the "frequency illusion" or "recency illusion." It occurs when you learn something new, such as a word, a concept, or an idea, and suddenly start noticing it everywhere. This effect is believed to be the result of a combination of selective attention and confirmation bias, which make you more likely to notice and remember things that are relevant to your recent experience or interests.
yeah yeah. sometimes you do just hear things in clumps tho.
Specifically, I heard that from a youtube video that was probably recommended to millions of people on the same day.
So yeah, probably not a frequency illusion
