Ghost Band

Not to be confused with Ghost, the band from sweden, a Ghost Band is a band that still performs despite having less than half of what would be considered the "Classic Lineup", or even none at all. These bands almost always perform worse than the classic lineup did. As for why something like this would exist, it's simply because it's easier to cash in on nostalgia than to sell yourself as a new band. An example of a ghost band is Bad Wolves, which now only has one of the original five members, and it's not even the lead singer. And they're not even that old!
Friend 1: "Hey, did you hear that Bad Wolves are going on tour, we should go!"
Friend 2: "Why? They're a ghost band now. It's more or less just a Bad Wolves tribute band."
Friend 1: "Well, that's a shame. I hate it when bands do that, just call it something else!"
Friend 2: "Well, that would make too much sense, and it wouldn't make enough money."

Lennon Number

A number used to describe a musician in the same way actors are described with Bacon Numbers. A Lennon Number refers to having recorded with him. John Lennon would have a Lennon Number of zero, because he IS John Lennon. The other 3 members of The Beatles (Paul, George, and Ringo), have a Lennon Number of one, because they've recorded with him, and so on and so forth.
Did you know that Jack Black has a Lennon Number of two. He recorded with Elton John, who recorded with John Lennon. Strictly speaking, most famous musicians probably have higher Lennon Numbers than you might think. Eminem has a lennon number of two, also linked through Elton!

Racist Mario

One of the most absurd parody videos of all time. The video depicts a Mario Kart race featuring several non-nintendo characters. Mario slowly but surely kills every one of them, even killing Yoshi and Toad in the process, and Ash Ketchum captures Sonic. Ultimately he dies to Kratos, who wins the race by default, taking Peach and Daisy as his trophies.
Characters who appear in the video include
Knuckles: Died (blown up by mario)
Anakin: Died (Fireballed)
Yoshi: Died (Crashes his kart after getting an item box in his eyes.)
Donkey Kong: Survives (Mario shoved a banana up his ass)
Sackboy: Died (Hit by Mario's bullet bill.)
Sonic: Captured (Choked by Mario before getting sent down the track by a boost panel, proceeds to get captured by Ash Ketchum.)
Ash Ketchum: Did not participate in the race (Captured sonic)
Luigi: Died (Mario almost killed him with a fireball, but kratos killed luigi instead.)
Crash Bandicoot: Already dead (Decapitated head shown by mario, thrown at kratos.)
Toad: Died (Mario used his head as a powerup)
Mario: Died (Defeated by Kratos at the end)
Peach: Survived (Claimed as Kratos' trophy)
Daisy: Survived (Claimed as Kratos' trophy)
Person 1: "Wait wait wait. You mean to tell me Kratos killed Mario once?"
Person 2: "It's in the Racist Mario video. A bunch of crazy shit happens, it's great!"

Rule 901 

A new rule of the internet that I'm proposing.
If a piece of fan work gets copyright claimed by the company who made the source material, then it's canon. An example of this would be if Nintendo claimed someone's fanfiction. No matter how inappropriate, lewd, or downright fucked up that shit is, it happened.
Person 1: "How have none of the companies parodied in the Racist Mario video claimed it yet?"
Person 2: "Rule 901. if they were to claim it, it would be canon to that universe."

Flexplay 

A type of DVD that was sold in 2003 and again from 2008 to 2011. The idea behind them was that they cost the same as renting a dvd, but after 2 days, it would no longer work, and you'd simply throw it away. The idea was that by selling these, anybody could start renting movies. They failed for several reasons.
1: Opposition from environmentalist groups (Fair enough, that's lots of plastic)
2: If you wanted to recycle them, you'd have to take it back to where you bought it, defeating the whole point.
3: By the second time they tried selling them (they tested them in 2003 and it failed then), redbox was a thing, which was a much better idea (easy to return them because they were in front of stores and you could return it to any redbox, no wasted plastic).
and last but not least:
4: There was simply too much competition (Redbox as previously mentioned, Netflix, Blockbuster, etc.)
(Sometime in 2008)
Person 1: Yeah, so we're gonna rent a movie tonight.
Person 2: Alright, are we gonna go to blockbuster?
Person 1: No, we're gonna grab a flexplay disc from walmart.
Person 2: Here's a better idea. I just got a netflix account. We don't even have to go anywhere! So what do you want to watch?

subways of your mind 

Formerly known as the most mysterious song on the internet, subways of your mind is a song recorded by german rock band Fex. The first attempt to identify the song happened in 2007. The song was recorded from a radio broadcast in 1984, with the master tape for this version still being lost as of now. Despite this, several versions of the song have surfaced following the identification of the song and band.
A demo from 1983
A rehearsal from 1984
The final mix of the song (this was the one broadcast on the radio, the official release is sourced from a copy that the keyboard player had)
A live performance from 1985
An acoustic performance in 2024 (notably broadcast on the same station the song was first recorded from)
