Dead Guitar era

A stretch of time in popular music where modern Rock bands reduce guitar use in their music in favor of keyboards and electronics. Usually lasts about 3-5 years. This does not mean guitar oriented music doesn't receive radio airplay or that the bands in question remove the instrument from their music altogether.

The time this definition was written could be considered a dead guitar era, with the rise in prominence of bands like Imagine Dragons.

Devilman

Early, iconic Manga/Anime series by Go Nagai from the late 70's. The story is about Akira, a shy, somewhat spineless teenager who discovers a demon mask from ancient Mayan civilizations and becomes a demonic hero setting out to fight other demons.

Notable fans of the series include Glenn Danzig and Rob Zombie.

Devilman kicks serious ass! If your into anime like Elfen Lied and Hellsing then this series is for you.

Ex-hippie

One who at one point identified as a traditional hippie, sharing the same viewpoints on politics, culture, sex, and drugs, but have since cleaned up and taken up normal lives. While most ex-hippies remain politically liberal on most issues, their views tend to be more to the right than their views in their hippie days, while several take more conservative approaches to the drugs they once did, especially involving their own children.

For most ex-hippies, the same bands they liked back in the day remain with them. More often than not it remains the only thing about them that doesn't change.

Overdefense

Term applying to combat games. When your computer-cotrolled opponent is almost impossible to hurt because they are using defense (or any method to avoid harm) at least 93% of the time. Almost certain to turn a terrific victory into a frustrating (and-if other people are present-humiliating) defeat.

I had a great run in Mortal Kombat until Johnny Cage started using overdefense and cost me everything.

Oasis

An Alternative Rock/Britpop band active from 1991 to 2009, fronted by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. Hit the big time in 1995 with the album "(What's the Story) Morning glory" and the song "Wonderwall". Other good songs include "Supersonic", "Champagne Supernova", and "The Shock of the lightning". Sadly, brotherly love wasn't always present in the band, and the last few years became less about music and more about Liam and Noel trying to one up each other (though their last album, 2008's "Dig out your soul" was pretty good), which lead to the band's breakup in Fall 2009. Noel started his own project while the other members and Liam started the band Beady Eye.

Oasis was a good band. It's too bad Liam and Noel couldn't work out their differences too well.
