1) Music originating from america in the 1960's. Created for people to dance to, with a prominent bass line and clever loops and samples. The most innovative style of music around today, encouraging new and varied ideas to emerge into the mainstream only to be knocked out of the charts by some pansie pop group or boyband who's records are bought by young girls.
Note: Dance music is not pop music. People who think that this is the case have never heard real dance music. pathetic people who call themselves djs by producing a re-make with a heavy beat and female vocals do not produce dance music. they produce poor quality pop.

Get the danish musicmug. An active (public) kik Group Chat filled with rapists, chances, cheats and other scrupulous/unsavory individuals. Meant to have began before time™ was invented. Charged with the mental preservation of the New World Music and shaming of the common simian. Thought to be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of music icons (see Chris Cornell)

Get the the music illuminatimug. A class in which you avoid parallel fifths and octaves like they’re the Rona and also don’t double the leading tone. Also you get the added bonus of confusing the heck out of yourself trying to tell the difference between the three types of augmented sixth chords.
Person: Why are you up at 8am?
Me: I have an 8am class
Person: And what class is that?
Me: Music Theory...
