| 22. | power wagging | ||
|
A term coined by NBC's 30 Rock. It's when you shake your index finger at someone to make a point to whatever you're saying. First used in a season 5 episode called "Plan B" by Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin's character). Liz - "You're looking out for us, right? Pounding on desks and doing whatever this called." (she's shaking her index finger)
Jack - "Power wagging." |

| 23. | Power Metal | ||
|
A relatively modern style of Metal, inspired by classic legends like Iron Maiden and Europe. It is characterised by guitar play that is quite simple (usually power chords) during most of the song, which gets extremely fast and complex during the intro, solo, and outro. Apart from the guitarist, a lot is expected from the vocalist, who has to reach extremely high notes, and have an immense vocal range. The drum beat is usually repetitive, but insanely fast. Great power metal bands include Manowar, Altaria, Gorgoroth, Dragonforce, and perhaps the best of them all: Sonata Arctica. Lyrics in these songs often deal with fantasy, war, and the medieval/renaissance age. They have no hidden, deeper message, but with the amazng music they're set to, no one really cares. An exception is Sonata Arctica, who have the running theme of love and loss. Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica and Manowar are all great power metal bands. it's a shame they don't get the attention they deserve.

A schlep rock is someone who is posing as a person of power, but in reality has none. Often occurs with younger, naive smart-ass types. "That John kid is such a dick. He thinks he's the shit, but he's just a fuckin' schlep rock."

| 26. | Rock Rap | ||
|
Musicians that can't sing and in some cases can't write their own music (*cough* Crazytown) so they TALK over a few randomly assigned power chords distorted beyond recognition. I can't believe rock stations play this crap. And what's the deal with Eminem? Evidentally "white rapper" = rock music.
