Music Major

A student majoring in music is often questioned on their sanity due to the intense level of work required and the crap pay rates of just about any future job available. Despite often being intelligent, this person willingly locks him or herself into a practice room for hours every week, becoming a virtual slave. Furthermore, additional funds are spent by acquiring a teacher in his or her field of study. If ever you need a psychotic peer to explain to you the circle of fifths, this person will not be your target because he or she will look at you strangely and wonder why you do not know such an elementary concept.
Tom: Hey Bill, ya wanna catch a movie tonight?
Bill: Sorry best friend Tom, I've got rehearsal.

Sonny: Hey Bill, ya wanna study for that chem test tomorrow with me?
Bill: Chem test? psh... I don't study for superfluous classes! I've got rehearsal!

Sabrina: Hey Bill, I was wondering if you had plans this weekend? *gives Bill a sultry look*
Bill: Sorry Sabrina, love of my life, I've got rehearsal, but if it makes you feel any better I will sing my Mozart aria for you!

Sabrina: ....uh
Bill: ...I guess she didn't know I'm a Music Major.

Musicals

A great thing on this good green earth. One of the most entertaining enjoyable things to watch or be apart of. They are very wonderful no matter what there about. You could write a musical about potatoes and watch it and enjoy it. I myself watched a musical about a white boy gang and a Mexican gang that ballet danced in Brooklyn. I loved it
Musicals are my forth favorite thing in the universe!

Musical Epiphany

Having a musical epiphany is when you hear a song or band that completely alters or redefines your current music tastes. It will make you rethink nearly every musical decision you've ever made up to this point.
EX: Last night Jon and I went to a Get Back Loretta concert, and when the guitarist starting playing, I had a musical epiphany.

EX: I had a musical epiphany when an old Beastie Boys song came on the radio that I never heard before - changed my life.

musichead

Someone who is an avid music listener. They listen to music ALL the time, and usually are the type of people who know about the latest music. Also they are always trying to put you on a new artist, etc. They also just don't listen to music, they know why the artist wrote the song, what it means, etc. They also are somewhat of a music critic too. It started in Baltimore, vice versa the meaning for sneakerhead. I thought if sneaker lovers had a word & definition, then so should music lovers !
Steve: Did you hear Kendrick Lamar's Section.80?
Diana: No, I don't even know who that is!
Steve: Well you should!!!
Diana: Steve, your such a musichead!
