Term used to describe any day in which a musician of critical acclaim passes on. The term generally refers to the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper passed on when their plane crashed, but has in recent times been used to describe the passing of other legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon and most recently, Michael Jackson. The term originated from Don Mclean's song 'American Pie', and the event itself is a very emotional time for the music industry, and of course the many dedicated fans of the icon themselves... but it is important to remember that although they are physically gone, the musical contribution they have made to our lives and the music scene in general shall remain with us always...
The day the music died:
Buddy Holly
The Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens
Elvis Presley
John Lennon
Michael Jackson
R.I.P :(
Please note that my opinion is not above other people: you may have your own musical icons that deserve to be up here, which is perfectly fine- but this only refers to the most famous and recognisable musicians where a day the music died has been made upon their passing.

Get the The day the music diedmug. Ever since the creation of pop music,things have been changed. It's not really music anymore. It's pretty much the same crap over and over.
Justin Timberlake or anyone overhyped is living proof of the degeneration of american music. We are no longer creative in once-great america.

Get the degeneration of american musicmug. A genre of music characterized by anger, violence, loud driving acoustic drums mixed with electric string instruments, often including depressing ballads, men in makeup and hair extensions, and male camel toe.

Get the metal musicmug. A type of house music that has 130 BPM, influences from R&B, rap, crunk, 80s synths, techno, and rock, samples that one wouldn't expect to make a song from, such as President Bush's stutter in a recent speech of his, and allows people to dance their pain away while inticing fights and moshpits at the same time. Early examples of Baltimore Club took influence from Miami Booty Bass and Chicago House, such as "It's Time for The Perculator" and "Too Much Booty in the Pants", while more recent examples exude the aforementioned characteristics.
One can dance to Baltimore Club Music in almost anyway imaginable: a shoulder lean, a snap and a pop, a 1-2 step.
However, two of the most prominent types of dancing for Baltimore Club Music are the "Crazy Legs" and the "Spongebob", which can be demonstrated if one searches for "Baltimore Rockin" on Youtube. Dancing to club music is often called "Rockin' Off" or "Shakin' Off".
Note: Baltimore Club Music is a distant cousin to gogo, even though most that listen to BCM dislike gogo calling it, often times, "a waste of six minutes".

Oblivious Clubhopper: "What's that annoying African chant from Michael Jackson stuck on repeat for? I can actually vibe to it now!!!"
Baltimore Club Head: "Oh, that's Baltimore Club Music. And, by the way, it's Mamasay Mamasa Mamacusa. Let me call K-Swift on the 92Q-Lines and request Hands Up, Thumbs Down so I can start rockin' off."

A type of music that usually contains rythms and sounds associated with electronica as well as lyrics, although these lyrics are often repeated throughout the entire song so as to blend in with the background music.

Get the music to my earsmug. RYM is a music cataloguing/rating website. It's content is extremely thorough, and because of easy accessibility the concept of 'obscure taste' becomes irrelevant through exposure to a vast array of genres, artists, albums, etc. sadly, the community is plagued with countless cynics, elitists, and pompous assholes who employ music as a means to groom their ego through forum circle jerks and panning albums they haven't listened to for no reason; injecting their reductionist, word excrement into every album they can muster through pathetic faux-reviews that are as self-indulgent as they are inconsequential.
otherwise, a great tool for discovering music.
