Hipe \Hipe\, n. Also Hype \Hype\ . [Etym. uncertain.] (Wrestling) A throw in which the wrestler lifts his opponent from the ground, swings him to one side, knocks up his nearer thigh from the back with the knee, and throws him on his back.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
"excessive or misleading publicity or advertising," 1967, American English (the verb is attested from 1937), probably in part a back-formation of hyperbole, but also from underworld slang sense "swindle by overcharging or short-changing" (1926), a back-formation of hyper "short-change con man" (1914), from prefix hyper- meaning "over, to excess." Also possibly influenced by drug addicts' slang hype, 1913 shortening of hypodermic needle. Related: Hyped; hyping. In early 18c., hyp "morbid depression of the spirits" was colloquial for hypochondria (usually as the hyp or the hyps).

Hype is a 1981 album by singer Robert Calvert, the former frontman of British space-rock band Hawkwind.
It is subtitled The Songs Of Tom Mahler as a tie-in to Calvert's only published novel Hype, the novel being a fictional account of the rise and death of a rock star.
The musicians used for the recording mainly came from the band Bethnal who Calvert befriended during their support slot on Hawkwind's 1977 UK tour.
Hype is a punk band from Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Their first album was "Life is hard... ...then you die" recorded in April 1985. Their second album "Burned" was released in 1987 on Fringe Records. Hype had three primary members, that founded the band and were on both albums. They are famous in their own minds and outstanding in their fields. Brian Bishop, Ger, and Sheen. Some Laverton drumming on the first album was replaced by a double whammy of two Barbisans - new drummer and a second guitar! After Ger and Sheen left the band, Hype continued with some new additions, unnamed due to memory burn (Corny?), Hypebomb allegedly was released, and then it ended.
Hype is an American sketch comedy television series on The WB, which ran for 17 episodes from October 8, 2000 to February 18, 2001.
Created by Scott King, Lanier Laney and Terry Sweeney, the series was ordered by the WB after the trio wrote a sketch for MADtv which parodied Felicity, the network's major hit series at the time. The series focused on sketches parodying pop culture, particularly the overinflation of cultural and public relations hype.
King, Laney and Sweeney were also writers for the series, along with Jordan Black, Jerry Collins, Jay Johnston, Kent Fuher, Karen Kilgariff, Lori Nasso, Andy Bobrow, Steve Holland, Warren Lieberstein, Robert Sherman and John Unholz.
The show was canceled after one season, although two of its cast members, Frank Caliendo and Daniele Gaither, subsequently joined MADtv, while Gavin Crawford has had success as a television comedian in Canada, including on The Gavin Crawford Show and This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
