rewind

In the drum and bass scene, the DJ's practice of replaying a record that has been enthusiastically received by the audience. Spectators "call for a rewind" by holding cigarette lighters in the air; if there is enough demand, the DJ will spin the record backward and play it from the beginning.

The crowd loved that track so much that I had to do three rewinds.

lola

From: Shapeshifters 'Lola's Theme', the smash hit music single of 2004.

1. A clubber that only listens to "handbag house," which is a particularly cheesy form of dance music.

2. A clubber who, when choosing which club to go to for the night, is more concerned with their appearance and "being seen" at a particular location than the actual music being played.

Also see: muppet

"I am so sick of going to gigs these days and finding the place full of lolas, the dance scene is just not how it used to be."

Skank

Derogatory term for a (usually younger) female, implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status, poor hygiene, flakiness, and a scrawny, pockmarked sort of ugliness. May also imply promiscuity, but not necessarily. Can apply to any race, but most commonly used to describe white trash.

You know that girl Crystal that lives in the trailer park? She's a total skank.

squad

Crew, posse, gang: an informal group of individuals with a common identity and a sense of solidarity. The term is a bit flashy and is more likely to be heard in hip-hop lyrics than in spoken conversation.

You step to me, and my whole squad will come down on you.

stupicide

The act of killing someone who is intolerably stupid. Alternately: the act of killing someone by subjecting them to overwhelming amounts of idiocy.

I'm going to have to commit stupicide if this guy doesn't shut up.

The guy found dead while watching "The Fast & The Furious" was clearly a victim of stupicide.

player

A male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women by pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex. Possibly derived from the phrases "play him for a fool", or "play him like a violin". The term was popularized by hip-hop culture, but was commonly recognized among urban American blacks by the 1970s.

A certain class of low-rent, slack-jawed fuckups has decided that backstabbing and misogyny are totally radical, so the word is sometimes used as a compliment or term of endearment between male friends, as in the greeting "what's up, player?".

Gina thought she had found the love of her life when she met Sean, but after she found out he had slept with three of her best friends, she realized that he was nothing but a player.

bite

To rip off another person's style, especially with respect to music or fashion. From early hip-hop culture.

Why don't you come up with your own sound instead of biting every track that hits it big in the clubs?
