Educational dance music (EduDM) is a genre of dance music created by DJ Kronotrope. This is essentially dance music that doubles up as an educational tool by imparting valuable knowledge to specialist groups and/or the general public through song.
Songs have been used as a medium for imparting knowledge for centuries. Though inferior in many respects to more traditional forms of learning, they remain especially potent for delivering small pieces of important information – especially the kind that needs to be memorised. This is because most songs contain loops. Usually, melodies constitute such loops; but for many songs with vocals, even lyrics loop. Looped lyrics assail the listener's mind and 'drill the information into one's head', so to speak.
EduDM songs must satisfy the conditions listed below:
1. The song qualifies as dance music
2. The knowledge imparted is valuable
3. The knowledge is 100% factually correct based on authoritative sources such as recognised academic journals
4. The knowledge imparted is not revisable within the foreseeable future
5. The song features no vulgar content (e.g. vulgar songs about sex and drugs cannot qualify as EduDM)

1. Educational dance music songs can save lives. It's true!
2. Educational dance music provides a means by which specialists in their respective fields of work can show off how much knowledge they possess about a subject to people that don't really care.
3. Tom: "I was so drunk last night that I couldn't even remember whether or not I was making out with Anne or Sarah. For some reason, though, I seem to know all about Heideggerian metaphysics, quantum mechanics, and how to perform a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral saphingo-oophorectomy. Word."
Brad: "It was the EduDM, man. EduDM was being played at that club all night."
Sarah: "I LOVE EduDM!"

A Disney movie that Disney is milking for all its worth and is continuing to do so. No one quite knows why High School Musical is so popular. Even the actors admit its a crappy movie. Its probably because 11-14 year old girls think the guys in the movie are hot (No offense Corbin. I love you.) and that in real life everything works out perfectly like in the movie. Real people, however, realize that the plot is cheap, the characters are underdeveloped, and most of the actors aren't great. I for one think there were better quality Disney movies that should have made it big. The songs are pretty catchy though.
1. "High school Musical is the worst movie I've ever seen...but for some reason I can't change the channel."
2. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE High School Musical. Zac Efron and Corbin blu are sooooo hot.
3. Person 1 -I can't wait till prom. Probably my girlfriend and my ex best friend, who she left me for, will admit they were actually just planning a surprise party for me and then we'll all break out in song and dance.
Person 2 -Dude that's NOT going to happen...
Person 1 - IT WOULD IN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!
4. Vanessa Ann Hudgens couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.

A cheap and blatant disney rip-off of Grease that for some reason a bunch of kids like. So of course disney markets the shit out of it, and 2 sequels are due out. only reason to watch is to see up-and-coming actress/singer Vanessa Anne Hudgens
Loser 1: Dude did you watch High School Musical? I heard it's awesome.
Loser 2: Ya dude it was awesome!!!!
Loser 1: Did you hear they are making sequels?
Loser 2: Ya 2!!! OMG THATS SO AWESOME!!!!!
Non-Loser: Disney is so fucking pathetic they haven't had a single original idea in a decade and all they do is put out sequels because they are money-grubbing bastards who don't care about the quality of their movies.
