riff

The quick change between Treble and Bass Clefs played on an instrument, usually either the Harp or Piano.

Oh, look at that riff. I hope you don't use it in everything

riff salad

As the name implies, it is music that has no sense of where it's going with creative and/or expression, often times being filled with just riffs.

Technical death metal is given a bad image due to how the majority of the bands often make riff salads. I mean, tech-death does rely on complexity...

Riffs lah

Comes from Armagh/Tyrone in Ireland. Derived from "in the horrors here" and "horrifics here lah", which would be thrown about after a night of mass alcohol consumption

Then it turned into "riffs" and "lah", because fuck saying the full word "like".

"fuckin hell I was bananas last night. Hanging out of my hole here today. Pure riffs lah"

Riff Laugh Love

Riff Laugh Love was created by The Showdown after reuniting for Furnace Fest 2022. Many photos of the reunited group feature the band playing extreme metal while smiling. This is a play on Live Laugh Love, the popular phrase seen on Home Decor. www.rifflaughlove.com

The Showdown at Furnace Fest was so Heavy and Fun, Those guys know how to Riff Laugh Love!
