Meow Rock 

A sub-genre of rock in which the singers of the bands sing with a pseudo-soulful, southern twang that makes all of their lyrics sound like a cat from Georgia Meowing for 3-6 min. Mostly tools listen to this. One might say it sounds like they are trying to sing with a pint of syrup in their mouth and they are trying to not spit it out, but not swallow it either. Bands that are in this genre: Pearl Jam, Creed, Cold, Kings of Leon, Matchbox 20 / Rob Thomas, Nirvana part 2 or (Seether), Hinder, and much more.

Man I met this dude at this party and he seemed cool enough so I was cool to him. The next day I found out he liked Meow Rock, so I hit him with a bus.

You are having a conversation with someone and all of a sudden "shiny rock" you change the subject to something completely random or different.

You are focused on doing something and all of a sudden "shiny rock" you randomly do something completely off track of that focus.

Punk Rock 

"Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock."
-Kurt Cobain

Punk Rock is not only just a music but an expression in and of itself.

Goth rock 

Goth rock is a sub-genre of post punk music which originated in the UK in the late 70s (specifically 1979).

The first goth song is said to be "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus because even though the song was supposed to be written tongue-in-cheek, the band performed it with naive seriousness and the audience understood it with seriousness.

Goth rock characteristics include a 4 / 4 post punk beat, a drum machine, baritone vocals (common in men, like Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy), flanging guitar used for atmosphere and a prominent bassline. Some goth bands use characteristics of tribal music in their work, too (see: Southern Death Cult and Stairs - Uncertain Journey by Christian Death).

Contrary to belief, goth has not "evolved" and throughout the decades, the sound has relatively stayed the same. However, other dark or spooky genres and bands have cropped up throughout those decades which commonly get called "goth". This is false as goth only specifically refers to bands within that genre, not any band that uses a "dark" image or "spooky" lyrical themes.

Bands like Marilyn Manson and EBM bands like God Module are commonly mistaken for "Goth" when they're part of different genres.

The sound for all three of these groups are completely different, therefore could not be considered to be part of the same genre.

It is common for a goth to listen to goth rock, darkwave, deathrock and post punk but they can enjoy genres like metal (symphonic and Gothic in particular), industrial, EBM and synth pop too, just as long as they realise that the latter list are not goth genres.

tampon rock 

A term coined in the late 1980's to refer to the (ahem) "sudden wave" of female folk musicians, including: Tracy Chapman, Michelle Shocked, Suzanne Vega, Toni Childs, Melissa Etheridge, The Indigo Girls, 10,000 Maniacs and others. Tampon Rock chicks were the spiritual mothers of both the Riot Grrrls and the Lilith Fair fems in the 1990s. Nowadays, the term has been re-"cycled" to refer to any folk-rock chicks who remind us of that original wave (mostly just Tegan & Sara).

Listening to Tampon Rock brings back such great memories from college days.
