A person who claims to know many bands, mostly of the Indie variety, though only knows about a maximum of two songs per band. A band skimmer will claim to "love" said band, but when asked about other songs by them, they will either pretend to know another song that they "can't seem to think of right now" or simply state that they aren't aware of any other songs by them. In order to be classified a band skimmer, the person in question must claim to know a great number of bands. In addition to false claims of musical knowledge, a band skimmer will try to mooch music off of you. If you are playing a quality playlist, they will suggest you give them a list of songs on your playlist instead of actually taking the time to broaden their musical horizon as an actual music guru will do. Band skimmers tend to be heavily into main stream music as well, and many are "popular." (See 'Poser')
Some examples of the bands they may claim to know include (but are not limited to):
-Animal Collective
-Counting Crows
-Neutral Milk Hotel
-Bob Marley (seriously people, he has more albums than just Legend...)
-Ray LaMontagne
-Broken Bells
-Aqualung
-Belle & Sebastian
-Oasis
-The Shins

Music Guru: "I love Ray LaMontagne! His voice is like candy to my ears."
Band Skimmer: "I know right?! 'You Are The Best Thing' is so good!"
Music Guru: "'Let It Be Me' is most definately my all-time favorite."
Band Skimmer: "What? I haven't heard that one."
Music Guru: "What about 'Trouble'?"
Band Skimmer: "....."

Get the Band Skimmermug. When a girl pauses mid rim-job and blows across your asshole in an attempt to make the hollow sound of a jug or bottle in a similar situation.

Get the jug bandmug. A girl band is a type of cliché J-pop group.
Similar to a boy band, girl bands typically produce cut-and-paste vaguely relatable songs about love, are thought of as puppets of a corporation, and the members look alike, only distinguishable by their fans.
However, unlike boy bands, girl bands sometimes consist of more than 10 (and up to 48) people, instead of the boy band median of 5.
The most famous girl band would be AKB48 (not to be confused with AK-47, which is a kind of gun). True to its name, AKB48 hail from the region of Akihabara and consist of 48 (!) members, who mostly disperse in manageable boy-band-sized groups. There are sister groups called HKT-, JKT-, NMB-, and SKE48.
Another girl band older than AKB48 is Morning Musume. Through the years, the number of members has fluctuated between 5 and 15 members, and as of now (December 2014) there are 10 members and 4 waiting to join. Their biggest hit is called Love Machine.

Girl: "Which member of AKB48 is your favorite?"
Guy 1: "WTF? Everyone in AKB48 looks the same."
Guy 2: "I seriously can't tell two girl bands apart."
Girl: "You guys suck."

Get the girl bandmug. a person with no school activities other than band. A person who talks obsessively about the band and the directors. Usually wears fog dog musicwear shirts and makes odd noises saying it is music. They like to congegate in groups and talk about band. They are usually never alone out of fear of rejection and never wonder far from the band hall they also are very nasty closet freaks in large numbers on the band bus where crazy things happen.
