Sub-style of metal. Sometimes also known as "doom metal" due to its often agonizingly slow pace, crushing heaviness, and gloomy lyrics. It's generally accepted to have been invented by Black Sabbath. Some stoner metal bands are retro-oriented, some aren't. Common elements include marijuana references (obviously), sci-fi/fantasy themes, extended instrumental jams, and tempos anywhere from plodding dirges to medium-paced rock (but rarely faster). Heavy-ass guitar riffage is essential.
Notable bands include Kyuss, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, etc.

Reno/Sparks/Lake Tahoe area. Coined by the hardcore scenesters of the region back in the early '80s. The most well-known act to emerge from that scene was 7 Seconds.
HC kids from Skeeno used to wear trenchcoats, boots, and put black charcoal under their eyes like football players.
