Gateway Piracy

- the theory of the United States (a.k.a. Team America World Police) government's attempt to cunt punch the world of pirated software, music, and movies, and the resulting consequences. The user seeking pirated goods is forced to go on a saga into the depths of the interwebz in an attempt to seek his/her original goal, the discography of Lady Gaga. Hard drugs are often easily available in these underground forums (which are rapidly flourishing) even in places where the primary focus is pirated software.
This crack down, in return, forces n00bz to seek once "publicly" available pirated goods in a darknet forum, since the likely future of pirated software is gravitating towards underground websites. Once the n00bz have discovered these forums, the n00bz are exposed to the ease of sourcing muchos drogas through online vendors. The n00bz more than likely would have never sought out drugs in real life. Since the average n00b is easily influenced, being around the availability of drugs tends to erode the previous philosophy of never abusing hard drugs. This ease of sourcing drugs through online means consumes the n00b and the future path is a life of hard drugs and selling his/her asshole for dat skrilla skrilla.
In short -
DMCA take down requests = a generation of n00bz injecting crack into their eyeballs out of sheer fear of not being able to inject into his/her once available veins in a desperate attempt to not go into withdrawal.
Ben - "Hey Roger, where can I find some good music that will make my ear canals jizz with excitement?
Roger - "I do not know Ben, it used to be available on YouTube, but due to the government cracking down on pirating, they are hard to find. I am very sad."
Ben - "Oh, I see there Roger, let's go to one of those underground forums that I saw on the news!
Roger- "Ok Ben, let's do that! I like pirating music too. I sure hope there are not an enormous amount of drugs in this mysterious place told to us on the public news that I had no previous knowledge of!"
Ben- "Me too Roger, I do not like drugs. Drugs are bad."
Roger - "I seem to have found the holy grail of pirated software and music in this miscellaneous darknet marketplace, Ben. Please, come join me to pirate the tunes."
Ben - "Roger, I have noticed that this music forum also has vendors selling muchos drogas! Let us partake!"
Roger - "You are right, Roger! There are many options for illegal narcotics here in this forum that I was forced to go to. I am thankful for Fox News for telling me about these places! Let us partake in some of these drugs!"

*2 months later*

Roger - "Spread your ass-cheeks further, Ben! I cannot plug the heroin into your ass if you do not cooperate with me. I do not like the fact we are injecting heroin into our anoos."
Ben - "Me too, my ass hurts. Damn you gateway piracy !"

Gateway Artist Theory

The Gateway Artist Theory is the theory that the association or listening to of the less deleterious musical artist may lead to the listening of musical artists with a greater magnitude of lack of substance or quality. It is often attributed to the listening to of Kid Cudi,

Gateway Artist: An artist that encourages the common person to participate in drug usage and who leads to other artists that write lyrics about going harder and using harder drugs.
Example of the Gateway Artist Theory:
- Person 1: Ayeee! Let's get faded and zone to some cudi.
- Person 2: fuck Dat. Taylor gang errday. I only smoke papers now and i gotta save my good weed so wiz can get at that good fan weed.

gateway shopping

Gateway shopping is when you break down to buy "just one thing" after you told yourself you have to stop spending money. Much like breaking the seal when drinking, once you have purchased one item, you'll purchase five more items, spend money you don't have, probably will have buyer's remorse.
Me: I'm not going to spend any more money on leggings and purses. I have to buckle down and save money.

Also me: Ok I've got to go to the mall for just one thing - I need sandals and that's it. That's all I'm buying.

Also Me: Ok this purse looks really with the sandals, but I like that purse too - two purses won't be a big deal. It's just Coach...

My friend: It looks like those sandals sucked you into gateway shopping - you broke the seal!

gateway

An overly politicized, required course of all engineers at Columbia University. Initially a brilliant idea to introduce freshmen engineers to real world engineering, eventually a tool of power players at the school to advertise to the surrounding Harlem community and students looking to apply (not to mention donors). Gateway involves team projects oriented around community projects. Though there are exceptions, many of the projects require some sort of highly technical expertise not known by freshmen, or are so open ended that it could take a team of industrial designers two years to come up with an idea.
Bill: Hey, want to do something sometime in the next fourteen weeks?
Ted: Nope. I've got to do busywork for gateway.

Gateway Metal

Much like gateway drugs, it’s the softer entry level metal you listen to before getting into harder, heavier metal. -Steven Jessup
Linkin Park was my Gateway Metal band before I started listening to Slipknot.
