Second Wave Punk

Circa 1985 and after.

The second wave of punk rock encompasses the said music genre and sub-genres in the period from 1985 to present. A generation immediately following the first wave of punk which saw bands such as Black Flag, Circle Jerks, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, The Descendents, The Ramones and The Sex Pistols shape and reshape this unique form of rock music.

The second wave of punk rock music has seen arguably one of the toughest challanges the genre has had to face in its history. It was to be a period where punk rock and the values tied to it would slowly enter a decline as it, like so many other pure and raw forms of music, were to be raped by the mainstream. In an age where pop-culture, the general media and youth networks (see: MTV) have a disturbing degree of control of the minds the world's youth, the task for the punk rock scene to hold its original principles and values whilst continuing to thrive was always going to be a difficult task.

Nonetheless, despite the aggressive attempts by major music corporations and MTV to 'steal', rape and redifine punk rock as a money-making mainstream fad (see: Faux Punk)the resiliance of punk has shone through and the scene is holding its ground with countless talented underground bands continuing the "DIY" tradition and blasting out the tunes for punk aficionadoes everywhere.

Examples of bands exclusively from the second wave include:

NOFX, Pennywise, Propagandhi, 98 Mute, Pulley, Dropkick Murpheys, Face To Face, Millencolin (pre-2002), Bigwig, Lagwagon.

Examples of bands that are NOT second wave punk or, for that matter, punk at all. Bands bred by the corporates to take punk, rape it, redifine it, and use it for their own purposes (see: MTV, Faux Punk, Poser, Homosexual):

Green Day, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Busted, Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, Blink 182.

3 Second Pregnancy Scare

When an individual (most likely a virgin) pre-cums like a motherfucker and puts his 12 incher into his partners cooch. He makes one thrust and there it goes..........this creates a very tense situation which is called a 3 second pregnancy scare. The man ends up learning from his mistake and vows from this day forward to always use a ribbed magnum before he engages in intercourse ever again.

He's so big lets hope he will not break through the fucking magnum.
Virgin: Man I had a 3 Second Pregnancy Scare last night
College Student: Yo what do u mean by that?
Virgin: I put it in and busted within 3 seconds
College Student: WTF I bet that she was pissed
Virgin: I dunno man but that was the scariest moment of my life, i will never forget my ribbed magnums again!

20-second rule

Any computer application must respond to input within twenty-seconds or the person using it will think that the software is broken and begin pressing the "Any Key" to elicit a response.

Internet latency is not an excuse for failure to respond; c'mon, even satellite links have less than 20 second latency.
The iPhone has a 20-second rule start-up timer; if an application takes longer than 20 seconds to start up, it is killed by the iPhone OS. Also, the iPhone OS will kill any application that is unresponsive for longer than 20 seconds.

Usually seen on poorly built web pages that rely on over-taxed advertising servers.

Also violated by Windows OS during the boot process where it waits a whole freaking minute for network connections that are never connected to time out.

Second Great Contraction

The worldwide financial crisis of the late 2000s that started with widespread the American subprime mortgage defaults and led to the collapse of many overleveraged Wall Street firms such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. The resultant recession has been deep and both monetary and fiscal policy have taken unprecedented steps in order to curtail its negative impact in efforts to prevent the credit markets from freezing and to stimulate spending.
Everyone keeps comparing the Second Great Contraction to the Great Depression, but only time will tell how similar they truly are.
