1. A group of people, most commonly three to five in number, who regularly congregate for the purpose of making music that will hopefully make them rich and famous and get them laid.
2. A video game for the Xbox 360 that allows a person to simulate the experience of being in a rock band. One can either sing or play guitar, bass, or drums. Can be played with everyone together in one room or separately online. Akin to what being in an actual rock band would be like if you only played covers and had more cheet on your shirt.

Guy: Hey baby, I'm in a rock band, let's do it. (Girl follows guy into cheap motel room.)

A column on the AV Club, a website spun off from The Onion that focuses on pop culture. It is written by Amelie Gillette and usually updates once a day on a M-F schedule. Although she occasionally shows biting wit, many of her subjects are just fish in a barrel, and would be better off ignored than having such vast reserves of negative energy wasted on their idiocy. She appears to possess an especially extreme hatred for Dane Cook and Zach Braff.

A pantomimed high five, performed in unison with someone who is too far away (e.g. across a room) to give you an actual high five.
When the professor announced that class would be canceled, Eric and Nathan gave each other an air five.

Refers to indie bands or artists that are only obscure in that they have no Top 40 plays or chart hits, but are otherwise at least moderately well-known among music fans. The name comes from the fact that these bands are among the first that people discover when they are getting into indie music, as they are just scratching the surface. Surface indie bands often penetrate the mainstream consciousness from time to time, usually by appearing on TV show or movie soundtracks, or by signing to a major label. Examples include Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian, and The Decemberists. Smug hipsters will often deride surface indie bands by saying the quality of the music suffers as a result of their increasing popularity (and are especially prone to claiming those bands have sold out), but this is just pointless douchebaggery.
Don't listen to that hipster douchebag who says it gets so much better than Of Montreal. If you enjoy surface indie, then listen to it.

A website ostensibly dedicated to collecting remixes of songs from video games and proving that music composed for video games is as viable and has as much integrity as music composed for any other purpose. However, the songs submitted for approval are judged - and subsequently accepted or rejected (usually the latter) - almost entirely on their production values, with little regard for whether a song is entertaining and fun to listen to or if it would add some variety to the site's overall catalog. Although few would argue that a certain standard is indeed necessary in preventing just any old schmuck from getting a steaming pile of crap posted to the site, one cannot help but sometimes wonder if the members of the judges' panel overanalyze songs to the point of impairing their ability to simply have fun with them. This lends itself to the impression that the judges' panel is an elitist musicians' circle jerk, although such an observation is probably somewhat harsh, as there is no doubt that much of the material on OCRemix, if not nearly all of it, is among the best in terms of musical quality.
The judges' panel rejected a remix Sean made for a game that hadn't been covered on OCRemix yet, but a day later, they posted their umpteen gazillionth Chrono Trigger remix onto the site.

Acknowledging a waiter/waitress by telling them what a good job they did serving your table. Often used by old people and usually unaccompanied by a monetary tip.
I wish I could have told those old people off for the verbal tipping they gave me, but they were just so nice I didn't have the heart.
