Alternative Revolution

A music revolution that started in late 1991 and ended in the mid-90's (there is controversy over what exact year it ended). It was characterized by the rise of various music styles such as Grunge and Industial, as well as the beginnings of Pop-Punk. This time period was also associated with the rise of Grunge fashion and the rising popularity of independent films (or films styled as independent films, such as Clerks).

This revolution was, unfortunately, corrupted by corporate America, which took the elements of the Alternative Revolution, ironed them out, and sold to mainstream America. By the mid-90's, the revolution had become commercialized, ultimately resulting in the end of the revolution and the rise of corporate "alternative radio" which is hardly alternative at all

Homo Evolutis

Hominids that take direct and deliberate control over the evolution of their species... and others.
A new species, Homo Evolutis, may arise as human inventions bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, etc., as described by Juan Enriquez in his TED presentation: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/juan_enriquez_shares_mindboggling_new_science.html

evolutionism

A belief originally perpetuated by Charles Darwin, that all life originated from single-celled organisms. And a Big Bang. This belief contradicts creationism, which believes a supreme being, generally God, created enough kinds of animals for natural selection to take effect, and the variety of species today is a result. Evolution is not the same as natural selection
The number of scientists who believe in evolutionism is decreasing

Dance Dance Revolution

1. A secret plot by Konami to surreptitiously teach certain rhythm impaired sections of society (i.e. engineering students) the basics of bass lines by luring them with shininess onto the dance pad and then appealing to their video game competitiveness to force them to listen to that little part of their brain which can sense musical patterns.
2. An outlet for people who occasionally feel the urge to do a jig.
Maybe if he played Dance Dance Revolution for, say, twenty years straight, he might learn to keep a beat. Maybe.
