Sensory Bombardment
/ˈsɛnsəri bɒmˈbɑːdmənt/noun
ELI5 Mode🧒
Sensory bombardment describes the overwhelming flood of stimuli to the senses, such as sights, sounds, and smells, that exceeds normal processing capacity. In modern contexts, it's often deliberately engineered in advertising or urban settings to grab attention, but it can lead to fatigue and reduced focus in everyday life.
