P.A.'s definitions

00s

The decade following the 1990s, currently in progress, and on course to becoming one of the worst, most meaningless and culturally empty decades in American history.
I'm so glad I graduated from high school in the 1990s and not the 00s.

cell phone

A mobile communication device.

Once a status symbol for the upper class, but now a way to identify the teenage children of lower class people.
I went to the movie theater the other day and I felt like I was walking through a cell phone jungle.

TRL

An abbrevation for Total Request Live

A one hour long commercial disguised as a show. Has nothing to do with music, celebrities, or requests. An easy way for Viacom executives to manipulate the minds of the 10-18 yr old masses in order to mold them all into sheep. Viacom is friends with the recording industry, so the 20 seconds of each video on the Top 10 Countdown you see is intended to sell music quickly, hot off the press. This keeps the media companies from losing profits while the economy is bad.
OMG! TRL is on! I can't wait to go to Sam Goody tonight and buy whatever music MTV tells me to. I'm so young, only 14, so I have no frame of reference, sense of history, or idea of how the world operates.

not

A word people used to say in the early 90s made popular by the movie Wayne's World. It means "not really" or "we were just kidding".
I got struck by lightning while I was rollerblading today. Not!

emo kid

Someone who is in touch with all of his/her emotions EXCEPT for the emotion that comes from listening to GOOD music.
The emo kid locked himself in a closet and cried all night, because the music he listened to that evening was bad enough to make someone on their honeymoon want to jump off the hotel balcony.

the used

Another band that will be forgotten in a couple years. They are "used" by the music industry when they are marketed toward 12-20 year old girls and boys who happen to enjoy the emo/fabri-punk genre to begin with. They are adored by screaming fans in that age demographic, which means the music executives are doing their job well.
Hey man, are you listening to The Used?

Nah, I'm listening to Mozart's 40th Symphony.

mtv2

Marketing Television Too!

MTV's brand for viewers with slightly higher IQs. Through filler and commercials, somehow manages to stretch appx. 5 hours worth of programming into a 24 hour period. With the ailing economy and with Viacom's financial losses, MTV Networks formats this way in order to save money.
I better hurry up and watch MTV2 now before they change the format to Newlyweds 24 hours a day.
