Sardine Machine

A cramped vehicle with too many people inside, usually a train carriage, packed like sardines in a tin.
I can barely move in this sardine machine.

I'm not getting on that sardine machine, I'll wait for the next one

Machine Gun Kickwave

A high-intensity kick drum technique in music production, characterized by rapid-fire, staccato-style kicks with minimal spacing—often only one-note gaps between each hit. It deliberately avoids long-held kicks on the downbeat (beat 1), instead favoring tight, percussive bursts that mimic the rhythm of a machine gun. This creates an aggressive, relentless energy that amps up tension and movement in a track, especially in diss tracks, hyperpop, experimental rap, and electronic subgenres.

The Machine Gun Kickwave was coined by artist and producer Some Rando on YouTube (handle: @SomeRandoOfficial)in 2025 to describe a unique kick structure where no singular kick dominates the measure, and rhythmic space is weaponized like artillery fire. Think of it as a sonic barrage—it doesn’t give the listener time to breathe, only to bob their head harder.

Often paired with sharp hi-hats, glitchy basslines, or distorted vocals for maximum impact, this pattern turns drums into a lead instrument. It’s not just rhythm—it’s attack mode.
Bro didn’t even drop a hook—just came in with a Machine Gun Kickwave and obliterated the beat like it owed him money.
