Autumn

Also known as Fall, the season that marks the transition from Summer to Winter, beginning on September 21 and ending on December 21. While often regarded positively for the fall foliage colors, Autumn is despised by:

1. Many people living in Northern areas due to the fact Autumn means cold weather is on the way

2. Most kids in any type of school (elementary, high, college, etc.) with a normal calendar due to the fact Autumn is the start of the school year and the furthest point away from the return of Summer/End of the year

Major Holidays in Autumn include Labor Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

While Jill looks forward to Autumn because of the bright colors, Henry despises every part of the season except Halloween.

Everyday is halloween

A song by legendary Industrial Metal act Ministry from 1984. Usually found only on compilation albums. The song was written in defense of the Goth subculture and criticizes making fun of people who are different. The song greatly represents Ministry's early synthpop style and was rarely performed in concert after the band became Industrial Metal.

Ministry fan A: Dude Ministry's a great band.

Ministry fan B: The only album you have by them is Psalm 69. Great album, but if you were a real fan you'd have a copy of the song Everyday is Halloween, you may not even believe it is Ministry.

Channel Drifting

When a TV channel starts airing programs that are different from what the name of the channel suggests or programming the channel has shown in the past. Channels that exhibit channel drifting tend to shift away from past programming, often acting like it never even existed.

Examples include MTV, Cartoon Network, and TLC.

Channel drifting is often very unpopular with a network's longtime viewers. Of all the people who watched Cartoon Network 10-15 years ago, how many of those people do you think still watch it?

Youtube

The video sharing site that allows you to "broadcast yourself". Launched in 2005 and purchased by Google in 2006, the site was good until around late 2008/early 2009 when Youtube started acting more like a dictatorship, enforcing stupid copyright rules, forcing users to adapt to new designs and formats they don't want, eliminating user groups, and requiring users to sit through ads before letting them watch their video. If you are thinking of starting an account I urge you to reconsider. If you currently have an account, I would consider deleting it and not returning until Youtube agrees to return to the way things worked from around 2005-mid 2008.

Youtube has gone to hell since Google took over. They want to kick the everyday you and me users off the site and only allow popular people like Fred and Rebecca Black to post videos. To the YT heads, if you don't pay money, you aren't worth their time.

Wrong place at the wrong time

What you say when something goes very bad. Sometimes used as an excuse to get out of trouble.

I didn't kill that girl! I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Randy Michaels

A fat disgusting pig of a human who hates music and enjoys destroying great music stations for his own financial gain. Current CEO of Merlin Media and former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. Michaels became public enemy number one in Chicago in June 2011 after it was announced he had purchased alternative radio station Q101 and planned to turn it into a news/talk station. The station's staff was let go on July 14th and the station became a news station later that month.

"My favorite radio format has always been spoken radio"

"As music moves to the ipod, it's time for news radio to move to FM"
-both quotes from Randy Michaels, who is one of the most hated men in Chicago

MTV

From 1981-1997, MTV was a great network, playing great (and sometimes not so great) music and good programming, most notably Beavis and Butthead. However, around 1997, MTV started focusing on Pop music, shifting away from the Rock music that made them famous, and canceling Beavis and Butthead (though fortunately brought it back in 2011). While MTV did air decent reality shows in the early part of the 21st century like Jackass and Viva La Bam, it was mainly focused on crap-tacular programs like Room Raiders. Then in 2009 started the era of their worst programs-crap like Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant, and worst of all Jersey Shore. MTV is now a network of complete filth and is in need of a complete overhaul.

MTV was once a great network for music but now focuses on the most mind-numbing crap imaginable.
