Breakdown

A part of many Hard/Deathcore songs, that in many real metal fan's opinions, ruins the entire genre.
Deathcore kid: Waking the cadaver's entire album is like a breakdown!
Metalhead: That must be why it's so terrible!

Breakdown

a part in a song of any genre where the music is played usually in slower time or tempo and is slower and more rhythmic and will usually repeat oa number of riffs. has nothing to do with guitars, vocals or any other instrument other than drums. all the bullshit you see about its being a "brutal part of a hxc/metal song where people hxc dance" is 100% bull shit. most breakdowns have no relativity to brutalness.
The breakdown at the end of "Streetcar" by Funeral for a Friend is a prime example of a breakdown.

Breakdown

A word used by people who think they know something about music. It is not a term used by musicians and it usually discredits the person that is using it. Usually just a guitar riff that brings out the rhythm in shitty (cliched) music.
Chico: This breakdown is cool!
Real Musician: You're fucking gay.

Luxury Breakdown

a mental breakdown, extreme anxiety that occurs to the unemployed and well taken-care of, sometimes trustfund middle 20's children. Done usually in between manicure / pedicure, chiropractor, and personal trainer appointments. Used to gain attention from friends who think you have lost touch with since you became so wrapped up in your world of doing nothing all day.
Friend 1: "I'm not sure what is wrong with me. I've been having panic attacks, I'm all stressed out about thinking about returning to work someday, getting up at noon just about kills me... I think I'm going crazy."

Friend 2: "Nice to hear from you. I think you are having a luxury breakdown. Glad you have found something to occupy your days with."
