A sort-of punk rock band that was good but not extremely popular until recently, when thousands of teenyboppers found out about them on TRL, believing their newest and worst CD to date to be "teh bset". Now every fourteen year old in the country rants about how great Boulevard of Broken Dreams is and are known to exclaim things such as "OMG BILLY JOE IS HAWT!!!1" and "DONT WANNA BE AN AMERICAN IDIOT!!12". Their new CD is mediocre at best, so please listen to their other albums instead.
The typical Green Day "fan" has never heard of Nimrod or Kerplunk, but totally eats up the new pop-punk garbage.

The vast majority of bad music you hear on the radio. Consists of heavy guitars (sometimes too heavy causing different octaves to become indistinguishable), and a usually a screaming/rapping lead singer. A good population of today's shittiest bands are lumped into the nu-metal category, such as Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down and Slipknot. Currently there are only two good nu-Metal bands in existence, System of a Down (though most would not call them nu-metal simply because it's become more of a stigma than a genre) and Ill Nino, and most would agree with these choices.

Place where theft is so easy I can walk out with a 6 pack of Dr. Rocket RIGHT in front of the old man.

A trailor-trash beer that no one would drink if it wasn't so cheap and didn't have a little bit higher alcohol content than the standard.

There are several defining traits of a tool; if one or more of these characteristics apply to you, then you are a tool.
1. You often feel used by your "friends", who usually make fun of you to both to your face and behind your back, but act polite if you have something they want. Of course, because you're desperate to be accepted, you give it to them.
2. You buy into whatever trend seems in at the moment because you have no identity or sense of pride. If you're emo, pass out at parties after 4 drinks to show off to people that you're drunk, or wear a pink shirt with the collar popped in a vain attempt to appear "secure with your masculinity", then you're a tool and haven't realized it yet.
3. You listen to Tool and think they are the pinnacle of musical talent because they call themselves "prog", but are actually boring and mediocre.

The absolute dumbest term one can use to describe someone with no tolerance for homosexual behavior. Assumes that one must have a deep-seated fear of gays in order to feel contempt for them or insult them, as opposed to just being ignorant, hateful or brusque.
Are people who hate gays bigotted and hick-like? Yes. Afraid of them? Nobody says "Jewphobia", they say antisemitism, and a Klansman is not a "blackophobe". Try watching Will and Grace and then tell me that a gay man is something to be feared.

Example of the term "homophobic" being properly used:
Cletus: Fags're threatinin' mah way of life! Gawd's fixin' teh punish Amer'cans!
Person with Brain: Wow, homophobic much?
---------------------
Example of using the term like a fucking idiot:
Emilio: You listen to Coldplay? Ha! Faggot!
Robyn: OH MY GOD you said "faggot"! That's so ignorant and homophobic!
Emilio: You're embarassingly PC. Ever hear of colloquial use, retard?
Cletus: Fags're threatinin' mah way of life! Gawd's fixin' teh punish Amer'cans!
Person with Brain: Wow, homophobic much?

Whinge Rock consists of all the bands your dad probably likes. Prime examples of whinge rock are mediocre bands such as Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down, and Three Days Grace. Whinge rock is characterized by power chords, a singer who tries to sound tough, and being repetitive. Linkin Park, albeit whiny, is not whinge rock because the fanbase is too young, and it has more nu-metal traits than those of rock.
Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, and 3 Doors Down just toured together. It was the ultimate tour of mediocrity and whinge rock.
