Joey: How was the car ride?
John: It was okay, except Alli insisted on playing her iPod at full blast the entire time "showing" me all these bands I would supposedly like. I like music and all, but it eventually got obnoxious.
Joey: Well golly gee willikers, that sounds like a textbook example of Musical Imperialism.

Get the Musical Imperialism mug.The unit of measurement from the british empire the "US unit" was based on. Very similar but with some differences. The pint, and therefore the gallon, is smaller in US than imperial units.
America took the british imperial unit, made the pint smaller because they can't handle their drink and called it "american" so that using any other standard of measurement would be unpatriotic.

Everyone knows that guy/girl who always comes to your party and stealthily plugs in their own iPod between songs. You were bumping old school Outkast, but now you have to settle for "She Wolf" by Shakira. You shrug it off because you're winning at pong at the moment, but let's be honest, that's musical imperialism.
Josey: Hey, man, I really like this country playlist. It's totally appropriate for the setting and provides a really good vibe....wait, who the fuck just put on Ludacris?

Get the Musical Imperialism mug.Moniker given by political writers to describe the way the devoloped Western countries treat the Third World...by shipping them their garbage (from chemically-toxic and nuclear waste to the 'innocent'-sounding medical-waste management!) and pay them much-needed US dollar in return for their 'services'!
Garbage imperialism is on the rise in countries like Iraq: I know an Iraqi friend who lives here in Jordan that specialises in MWM (Medical Waste Management), and he tells me that this is his only way to make bread in Iraq these days?! WTFF!

Get the garbage imperialism mug.(n.) One who engages in, or by other means supports imperialism. They seek the betterment of thier own nation by uniting 'backwards' or poorly developed nations with corrupt or almost non-existant governments together to work for the good of themselves.
Often blindly and incorrectly accused of being fascist nazis by human rights groups and other opposers, imperialists have been forced to repress thier views due to the strong anti-imperialist feelings from pinkos worldwide. The world is becoming far too soft and slow without imperialism.
