An alternative rock band from the '90s. Like the Smashing Pumpkins, except much more short-lived (and fronted by a woman known as Anne Preven).
Their song "Torn" was covered by multiple artists, including Danish singer Lis Sørensen, American-Norwegian singer
Trine Rein, and Natalie Imbruglia (the latter of whom became famous for that specific cover).
There are misconceptions that Torn was written by Natalie in the first place: which is not true. Sure, the earliest cover of Torn was done by Lis, but Preven, Scott Cutler, and Phil Thornalley originally wrote Torn back in '91 as a solo song for Preven.
Finally, in 2014, Australian post-hardcore band Hands Like Houses covered "Torn" as part of the second Punk Goes '90s compilation album by Fearless Records.

A label commonly given by elitists to bands that define themselves as a metal subgenre they believe is the catalyst of the downfall of heavy metal.
Elitists, or bullies who diss a band they don't like by using the term, can label metalcore (ex: Attack Attack!, Bring Me the Horizon), glam metal (Kiss, Mötley Crüe), nu metal (Korn, the early works of Deftones), alternative metal (the current works of Deftones, Egypt Central), and some hard rock bands—even though they tend to get mislabeled as that—as fake metal.
It's gotten to a point where people have even tried to say that the only true genre is the one that came from psychedelic, acid, and blues rock, common example for that being Black Sabbath, who also paved the way for doom metal by merging metal with classical and more blues (props to them), and that all these subgenres (thrash for example) are just profit-driven fucks. I think.
Regardless, it's a commonly used term, and there may be a holy war ongoing.
I'm trying to be as neutral as I can for defining this label, so I do apologize if any bias appears.

Elitist: Nu metal is not real metal, you've been brainwashed by the fucking fake metal! Go listen to Carcass, Death, or even Nile!
"Fake" Metalhead: All that stuff is way too amazingly talented for me. I think I'm gonna go listen to Slipknot now.
Me: Who the hell are these people?!
My friend: Welcome to today's society…also known as the fifth circle of Hell.
Me: I'm just gonna…walk away…and listen to whatever the hell I have in my library…
So I did. And the elitist and the metalhead continued arguing. Christ.

Signal for the process of a pregnant person's body preparing for and initiating childbirth, signaled by regular, painful uterine contractions that cause the cervix to dilate and thin, allowing the baby to pass through the birth canal.

W. D. Gaster: "(SHORT AND CASUAL, GOT IT)"

W. D. Gaster: "(I'M GOING INTO LABOR)"
Guy: "HE'S PULLING THE PREGNANCY CARD ALREADY???"
Alphys: "If we divert the topic back to the construction of the CORE, we might clutch this"

Oh boy. Here we go into a giant rabbit hole filled with either positive definitions or hate definitions. And both ways do NOT have the likes topping dislikes...
Generally, a Slipknot fan is...well...a fan of Slipknot. That's really all there is to say.
Slipknot also has a general name for these fans: "maggots."
Some "common" (real maggots may correct me because I personally don't care about Slipknot) characteristics include:
1). Slipknot merch
2). huge factual knowledge about Slipknot and all side projects and other related artists
3). homemade masks that legitimately look like a Slipknot member would wear one (depends on if they're a hardcore fan or not)
4.) getting hated on which I DON'T condone, don't go out attacking anyone for their taste in music, especially if it's a genre/band you don't like at all

Pop-punk is a genre of music deriving from punk and pop. There. It can be explained just like that.
You want more details?
Fine. You're the consumer, I'm the producer.
It was developed in America and Britain during the late 1970s and is characterized by fast, energetic tempos, emphasis on classic pop structures, and adolescent and anti-suburbia themes. During that time, you had bands like the Ramones, the Undertones, and the Buzzcocks setting the groundwork for the genre.
Then came the 1980s, where you had punk bands like Bad Religion, Descendants, and the Misfits (while not necessarily pop-punk in and of themselves, they were very influential to the genre) causing the genre to expand in the late '80s and early '90s.
Throughout the years, pop-punk has evolved, bringing in subgenres such as easycore (Set Your Goals), neon pop-punk (Let's Get It), emo pop (All Time Low), emo rap (Juice WRLD), and just emo in itself, and especially blew up in the 2000s with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, early Panic! at the Disco, Paramore, post-Enema blink-182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and even solo artists such as Yungblud and the hypocritical Avril Lavigne.
I mean, hey, you can literally do anything with music. It's considered art for a reason!
NOTE: Some artists are more on the pop side (Avril Lavigne), some are more on the punk side (Set Your Goals, again), and some like to balance it out (Olivia Rodrigo?).
NOTE 2: i shit my pants

Not all is sunshine and rainbows with pop-punk. Much like literally anything in this bizarre fucking world, it is never safe from criticism. Especially on here, where you have users such as Super Tips going on and off about the genre, along with Michael and Janet Jackson. One thing I can agree with them is in regards to the Jonas Brothers. We shall never consider them rock. EVER.
But, hey, pop-punk isn't all that bad, it's really catchy once you begin to listen to the instrumentals with your ears and not your eyes!
