Alex-2598's definitions
A fusión genre, especially popular in the 1960s, which combines elements of pop and classical music. The style emerged as artists were interested in recapturing the grandeur of the baroque era.
Common characteristics of baroque pop:
1. Heavy use of strings, woodwinds, brass, and other orchestral accompaniment
2. Intricate, layered harmonies
3. Prominence of the harpsichord, a baroque era favorite
4. Lyrics that were often fantasy-like, romantic, and, sometimes intentionally, vague.
Baroque pop is related to sunshine pop and psychedelic pop, all three sharing several characteristics, such as their use of complex harmonies.

Get the Tike Mysonmug. A novel that is specifically written to pay homage to or imitate the style of 1940s-1950s film noir. While many of the classic film noir movies of the period were themselves based on novels written in the noir style, these books would not be considered true Novel Noir because they would have been considered standard mystery/crime works in their own time. In other words, they weren't written with the tropes of film noir as we now know it in mind.
A key characteristic of Novel Noir is that it is consciously intended to emulate the gritty, shadowy black and white atmosphere of the classical Noir period. This is what sets the genre apart from works of contemporary mystery. The cutoff date for a true novel noir would likely be any time after the end of the classical American Noir era (generally accepted as the end of the 1950s).
A Novel Noir aims to recreate as closely as possible the elements of classic film noir. While certain aspects of a film can't be perfectly replicated in written form, novel noir works are characterized by vivid descriptions and deep immersion in the time period (often the 1930s, 1940s, or 1950s). Other characteristics are essentially the same as film noir: private eyes, morally gray scenarios and characters, crooked cops and shady gangsters, and of course, the mysterious and vexing femme fatale.

While film noir has faded in popularity since the end of the 1950s, authors continue to keep the genre alive by writing excellent works of novel noir.

Get the Novel Noirmug. A particularly endearing Millennial love confession. It should be noted that if said to a non-millennial, there is a very high probability that it will come off as extremely confusing and likely result in your sanity (and grasp of the English language) being questioned.
John: "Sarah, all my base are belong to you."
Sarah: "Oh John, I love you too!"
Bewildered bystander: "Huh?"
Knowing bystander: "It's a Millennial thing."

So long had I sought a love sweet and true
Hither, thither and yon did I roam
Yet the love I desired was here all along
Just across the way from home
