'Hype' comes straight from the Greek language (hyper-, prefix), and refers to something that grows very very fast (remember the hyperbola in Math?), or something that has a very high degree (example: hyperthyroidism). "All the media 'hype' about something" refers to all the words spent to publicize something, with big exaggerations or maybe just lies. If you are still reading, please note that 'hypo-', a prefix with the opposite meaning of 'hyper-' is much less used in contemporary times, where everything is fast,and the lesser we think, the bigger we buy! Thank you for an interesting question. By the way was your picture taken via a reflex or a digital camera?

"Overhyped" means to publicize in excess. Ex: The overhyped ad on TV keeps playing over and over again. Hype means to publicize in an exaggerated and misleading manner. (Ex: Snuggie ads) So, overhyped means the ad has been overly-hyped or "overhyped". Also, sometimes you might hear someone say "Do you believe all the hype?"(referring to a product advertised on tv or a band that has been advertised a lot) This means "Do you believe what the ads have been saying about this band/product/ect.?" The words "hype" or "overhyped" generally has a negative connotation. People generally feel whatever is being overhyped is not as good as the ads make it out to be.

overhype means to promote or publicize something excessively.
