Disclaimer: I'm older, get used to it
Neo-Soul: It's current R&B/ Soul your kids listen to. Don't bother learning any of these songs as you'll never get in a band playing them unless you are strictly a studio musician.
Classic Rock: It's those songs you played when they were new.
Metal: Loud, riff based music that is soothing to the youth, but just repetitive, 1 to 3 chord noise to the old.
Melodic Metal: same as above except you can occasionally pick out melodies.
Screamo: Metal with The Exorcist vocals. Do not attempt as it may be hazardous to your health.
Shoegaze: Ethereal alternative rock, heavy on musical layers and little to no body movement . For those over 40 it has been known to precipitate drooling on ones shoes and/or sleep.
Punk: 80's/90's version of the stuff you played in garage bands early in your career
Dub Step: Electronic dance music. Don't bother learning any songs in this genre, it's all keyboards.
Alternative rock: Code word for "under 40 rock and roll"
Cover Band: Code word for "we're older, we're good and still know how to rock"
Tribute Band: Code word for "we're older, we're good and we know this pays"
Up and coming band in need of bass player: Simply means 1 or 2 weekend warriors that can play a few Zep and Skynyrd tunes wants to put together a hobby band and you gotta chip in to pay for rehearsal studio time. In other words, you have to pay money to teach them more songs.

Crazy!

| Those made me chuckle, and I'm a metalhead myself, though I tend to gravitate towards the melodic stuff like Maiden, Queensr˙che, and early Metallica. |

Owner/Retailer: Jive Sound | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Alexandria,VA | | | Pop Punk - The poser metal from the 80s, except with lamer vocals
Grindcore - The Cookie Monster if he got hold of a pile driver.
Industrial - The sound of the copy machine printing a 400 page document at your office job.
Djent - Slayer with even more guitar wanking.
Stoner - If you played a Slayer 45 on 33
Visual Kei - Boy George playing Metal
Wizard Rock - The Dungeons and Dragons geeks start a band
Third Wave Ska - Playing Bob Marley on 78
Lo-Fi - Imagine if we recorded the sounds from when we tripped at band camp.
Psychobilly - A louder and faster version of the music your old man listened to.
Drum and Bass - It's really not what you would imagine with a name like that. |

Lakland Basses Endorsing Artist | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Asheville, NC | | Indeed... the fact that anything which came out in the 1990-1993 realm is now considered 'classic rock' makes me feel old... and I'm only 31. I heard Pearl Jam on a 'classic rock' station a while back. Made me do a big double-take. To me, 'classic rock' is what most people consider 'classic rock'... 60's/70's bands, some 80's depending. Sheesh... Quote:
