I'm giving my band one more year to make it, otherwise I'm starting a wedding band - you can make good money playing secretary rock.

A hairstyle that's long on the top and shaved on the sides and back (the opposite of a mullet), made most notable by former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted in the late 80's and early 90's.
It's too damn hot for all this hair - maybe I'll shave the underside and rock the Classic Newsted this summer.

One born, raised and schooled in a middle/upper-middle class suburb who moves to the city in their mid to late 20's and acts like they've lived there their entire lives.
Surburban Runaways will only congregate in certain neighborhoods of the city (ones typically deemed "dangerous" by their suburban parents), with a specific safety-zone of stores and bars.
If/When they do return to their hometown, they always make a fuss and never refer to it's namesake:
"Ugh, I have to drive out to the suburbs this weekend for a birthday party. Don't know what time I'll make it back, traffic coming back from the suburbs is always a gamble."

"Craig and Ruben got an apartment in Humboldt Park!?"
"Yep, they moved out of Tinley a few years ago; they had a spot in Pilsen, they just moved again."
"Wow, never figured them for suburban runaways...I guess it is the hip thing these days."

I used to love Municipal Waste back when they were still DIY, but I can't enjoy their shows anymore - too many thrashsters douching up the place.
