The state of having fully accepted and adopted the cold standard — someone who has been exposed to enough genuine excellence that their threshold for what counts as impressive has permanently shifted upward. Once cold-pilled, you can't unhear the difference between good and cold, can't unsee the gap between effort and effortlessness. It's often used to describe a fan or observer who discovered a certain artist or performer and now measures everything else against that standard.

I played that album for him and now he's cold pilled — nothing else sounds right to him anymore.
