Musical Imperialism

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?

Hal: It's Ashley. She's always stealing the stereo.

Josey: Dude! That's musical imperialism at its worst right there.

Square Music

A slang term teenagers used back in the late 1950's-1960's to define which is now known as easy listening or beautiful music.

musical fraud

When the copyright of a once good or even mediocre song expires and a musician with absolutely no talent what-so-ever steals the best parts of that song, puts them in thier music and either claims originality, or completely ruins the original song for all who like it.
Douchebag#1: What song is this? Right Round by Flo Rida?
Douchebag#2: Yeah, I love this song! Flo Rida's such an original musician with a lot of talent.

Cool-guy: You 2 are douchebags! This song pulls such a musical fraud on Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Right Round".

Similar circumstances for Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani and If I Were A Wealthy Man from the movie Fiddler On The Roof, etc.
