That's absolutely not the original meaning of hyperreality. What you're describing is a social construct. Hyperreality goes way beyond that. In fact, I'm pretty sure Baudrillard (who originated the term) would probably say that the hyperreal can have a physical existence. At one point he gives the example of how a simulated bank robbery would ultimately turn into a "real" robbery. That's an instance of something being hyperreal while also having a material existence.

oh uh sorry I somehow missed the part where you real Baudrillard, my apologies
well at least this is informative of how widespread misunderstanding of the concept is lol
