Arguably the best sub-genre of modern music today, not that that's saying much. Is highly derivative of 80s college rock and 90s alternative rock. The overall sound is often highly pretentious, and it is clear that many indie rock artists consider themselves to be musical geniuses. Never mind the fact that the songs hardly ever deviate from standard song structure and cliche lyrics(albeit in a pretentious fashion, utilizing ridiculous metaphors and overblown instrumentation). Still, a step up from the pop punk and party rap on MTV.
Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie, TV on the Radio, Modest Mouse, Arctic Monkeys, Broken Social Scene, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. These are all indie rock bands. It should be noted that some of these bands take a garage rock approach, yet the ridiculously convoluted lyrics and delusions of genius remain. Sounds like some people missed the point of punk rock's simplicity.

Get the indie rock mug."Rocking" is a verb used by today's youth meaning "to have sexual intercourse." "The cashbox" is a nickname many have given to theRick's mom's nauty bit when used in a manor to make money.
Tom: Yo theRick, sorry man, but I had to rock the cashbox last night. It was just too good to pass up.
Kevin: I rocked the cashbox last night too! awesome!

Get the rock the cashbox mug.The most powerful and energetic music ever made. THe music that doesnt hold back and refuses to be censored. the musics who has something to say about everything, and most importantly the music that will never die as long as punk bands are still making good music (The Virus, THe Unseen, lots of local bands, and etc.), the punk music that was made a long time ago (Minor Threat, Social Distorion, Bad Brains, Conflict, The Exploited, Black Flag, The Subhumans, The Germs, and i could go on forever) lives on inside us and influences us still, and that there are still true punks that support the scene. In the words of The Exploited, "Punk's Not Dead!"
Punk1: Good Charlotte and Simple plan and all those other pop punks band killed punk.
Punk2: Punk's not dead! Those bands do suck ass, but they didnt kill punk. punk'll never die.
Punk1:tru dat boi

Get the classic rock mug.a style of music that is rebelious to all that is popular in society. It goes against anything that is trendy. Punk rock is usually fast and the lyrics are of importance to what the band believes. But this is not a neccessity. Emo should not be in the same category as punk because it sux. Those emo kids need to shut the fuck up and quit complaining.
The Sex Pistols, The casulaties, Anti-Flag, NOFX, Rancid, The CLash, 7 seconds, Lars Fredricksen and the Bastards, Operation Ivy, Black Flag, Rollins band(pretty much black flag but more hard-core), The Unseen, Bad Religoin, Aerosol Methods(a punk band from Laurens, SC www.purevolume.com/aerosolmethods) Public Enemy was punk althought they sang rap. These are all punk rock bands.

Get the punk rock mug.The practice of sprinkling marijuana over a bowl of crack, and then smoking it. The marijuana often covers the crack from view to lead unsuspecting tokers into their first rock hit.
Randy: Man, I'm high as SHIT! What kind of crazy weed is this?
Dandy: That aint the weed, it's the crack! You're smoking weed on the rocks tonight!
