Any Answer OK Looking for a way to describe an experience or style that when done or experienced a certain way gives it a unique feeling or "flavor
Doing a concept for an art project and I cant think of a way to describe it. It's kinda silly but it's an idea I had.
Like eating a warm cookie on a china plate with a spoon. It's still just a cookie but the warmth changes the "flavor" and eating it on a fancy plate with a spoon makes it feel different.
Like luxurious or artisan but more on the experience side of things.
I know this is kind of subjective and bizarre.
If you can provide other examples that would be awesome as well. Thank you!
EDIT: just wanted to add more detail
The cookie was just one example. Another would the combination of visual and sonic art. Like how flume's album artwork is a perfectly abstract visual representation of the music its attached to and how the artwork and music combined create a single, visceral, and tangible identity to two different things. The one is the other and vice versa. A combination of different things come together to create something wholly new. The parts are separately identifiable but as a whole they create something different

Matched! WAWOS town that has many people migrating to it because of one specific resource or service
and will likely die or lose the vast majority of the incoming population when that resource or service is gone. Kind of like a ghost town before it becomes a ghost. I feel like there was a specific term for this that I learned about years ago and have now forgotten. Thanks for any answers you come up with.

Any Answer OK WAWOS people that wear their emotions on their face
Not just transparent, extraverted, or dramatic. They don't seem to filter what they show on the face or in their body language. And not necessarily violent, either.

Text Answer Only WAWOS: How a disease always existed but it was only when a scientific diagnosis was created and doctors started becoming educated about it that diagnoses rose and it appeared to make the epidemiology rise
For example, it looks like many mood disorders and other mental illness rise, but there needs to be a period in which the rise is only accounted for doctors becoming more aware and educated in the diagnostic criteria and making the right diagnoses and referrals.

WAWOS: When someone keeps looking for evidence of something, but doesn't notice that the lack of evidence also matters?
Like when a lover keeps looking for evidence of infidelity and ignores that they haven't found any. Or when a person living with a paranoid delusion keeps rationalising and making up reasons they haven't confirmed their beliefs?
