hyped
Talked up excessively
Hyped means excited or full of anticipation, often with the suggestion of being worked up beyond what's warranted: I'm so hyped for this concert.
Something hyped has been heavily promoted or publicized: The movie was hyped for months before release.
The word carries a hint of inflation—hype often exceeds reality.
Don't believe the hype.
