A derogatory term for technical deathcore and technical death metal, coined by the infamous Metal Archives review writer Bitterman. Presumably conceived as a way to avoid calling the genre an actual type of metal.
"So, what type of metal do you listen to?"
"Rings of Saturn, mostly"
"Ugh, I can't stand that tek-deaf wankery"

The list of writing credits on any given mainstream pop song, which contains far more names than necessary, sometimes not even including the artist who the music is attributed to. Why 8 people are required to write a song with literally the same arrangement as 99% of pop hits, we may never know.
"So this Demi Lovato song was written by Demi Lovato, Timothy Mosley, Jim Beanz, Jerome "Jroc" Harmon, Melissa Elliott, Lyrica Anderson, Nire, Garland Mosley, AND J. Angel."
"Arg, the limitless list of co-writers strikes again. I thought this was a solo artist?? When will we find someone who writes all her own music?"

A phenomenon that's emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, as schools and colleges resume lessons in virtual settings. In Zoom class meetings, they are the people who have their audio and video off, don't use the chat and are basically just worthless names on a screen. Woe betide you if you get stuck in a discussion group with silent wonders.
They really should make it so everybody has to turn their cameras and audio on or fail the course. That would deal with the silent wonder problem.

a term coined by Youtuber Pat Finnerty which describes heavy rock music from the late 90s and early 2000s. think Creed, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Dope, 3 Doors Down... you'd probably hear it on a playlist at a college gym. often they use a "yarl" style of singing and employ "scumbag tone", which is a heavily distorted and muddy guitar sound, often provided by a Mesa Rectifier. the lyrics mostly focus on problems and pain, and occasionally drinking and fighting.

Onomatopoeia for the sound created by slam metal vocalists. Presumably, the vocalist making the sound is enunciating lyrics, but they are almost never legible, even if you're reading official lyrics published by the band.
The sound is sometimes achieved through the use of pitch shifting technology.
