look up any word:
1. avant garde hip-hop
hip hop music made almost exclusivly by white males for other white males. often called nerd-rap by people who find it pretensious and geeky due to the sometimes very abstract lyrics, which often (or in the case of the anticon collective, almost always) do not rhyme.
Anticon fan: "Yo, i'ma go listen to some avant garde hip-hop shit and read chemistry books"

2. avant garde hip-hop
a subset of what has been dubbed "underground hip-hop". music that fits this category must contain original and experimental qualities that aren't always excepted well by hip-hop heads.
Busdriver's on some original shit, but sometimes it's too far out there for me.

Yea, he does that avant garde hip-hop thing.

3. abstract hip-hop
A highly pretentious and not very widely-used term applied to unconventional hip-hop music (most notably artists associated with anticon, but also such artists as Flying Lotus, Busdriver and Prefuse 73).
Synonyms include experimental hip-hop, avant-garde hip-hop and avant-hop.
Some conservative hip-hop fans claim that such music is not truly hip-hop.
A: "James has got such pretentious music taste!"
B: "I thought he liked rap?"
A: "Nah, he's a total hipster-hopper, he just listens to his lame-ass 'abstract hip-hop' bullshit!"
4. hip-hop republican
A hopeless abomination of nature that considers itself "avant garde" and rides the term hip-hop to try and gain some generational relevancy. Seriously though, you can be republican, but don't drag hip-hop into your shit.

See also confused, liger, whack, fool.
"Yo, you votin' for Obama?"

"Nah man. I'm a hip-hop republican. The GOP really identifies with my struggle."

"....uhhh yeah you're whack."
5. techno
A type of electronic music that orginally spawned in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit Techno in turn derived from Synth Pop and Electro. Kraftwerk was May, Atkins, and Saunderson's main influence. Techno is nothing but a subgenre in the electronic music community. Detroit Techno is still very much alive, albeit dead in the city of Detroit (hmmmmm, wonder why....). Techno is also a word that is erroneously used as a blanket term for all other subgenres of electronic music. No, Techno isn't the Trance and House music you hear in the clubs, morons! They're all different! That being said, it may be done with electronic equipment, but it takes true talent to make music that is coherent and actually artistic, much opposed to the radio triteness the public has been exposed to. Electronic music was descended from Avant-Garde Minimalism, which in turn, evolved from Classical Music.
Good artists worth hearing:
Aphex Twin
Squarepusher
mu-ziq
Plastikman
The Prodigy
Orbital
The Chemical Brothers
Moby
Daft Punk
Cybotron
Derrick May
Inner City
**much more other artists as well**

Oh yeah, and to those people who dis techno, but love the trite, bastardised "hip hop", I truly feel sorry for you people. You have no idea or any coherent knowledge of techno, and you still wail on in how it's the worst thing ever. Guess what? Look yourself in the mirror, and stop being a damn sheep.

6. Ghostface Killah
Ghostface Killah is a rapper and member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He is probably the most avant-garde MC on the planet, with lyrics that evoke the greatest imagery and some of the most clever punchlines and metaphors of all time. He's very exciting to listen to and is mostly known for his album "Supreme Clientele" released in 2000.
Kid: "omg, DJ UNK is duh bestest wrapir evar! walk it out walk it out!!"

Hip-Hop Head: *smack* *hands him a Ghostface Killah CD*
7. asiad
A compound and abbreviated word for "Asian Addict". Anyone who is obsessed with any and all things Asian. They generally know about the 3 year wait associated with things that will come to America ahead of time; and probably have experienced those things, such as fashion, movies (usually Asian horror flicks), and music. There are some specific groups such as Japanophile who are obsessed with anything Japanese, but ultimately leads to one central obsession of anything Asian. Asiads usually dress differently from western culture because of the influence of the quirky styles of Japan, Hong Kong, and Korean fashion. Asiads love all types of Asian clothing and study obsessively about the culture of Asian countries. Most likely an asiad has already learned a 2nd language of the Asian tongue, if not several. Asiad's dreams usually consist of visiting or living in Asia, or they most likely have already gone in a study abroad program to Asia. They love to eat Asian cuisine whenever possible, if not everyday. Most of everything that asiads buy are usually "imported" directly from Asia. Most likely, they have a Haduri personal page with all the movable pictures. They try to take pictures that are "cute" and close up face shots that are very white washed out so the only things that you can see are eyes, hair, and maybe lips. Asiads usually have fobby
