stoner rock

Stoner Rock is a loosely termed genre of music that has heavy guitar riffs that are somewhat repetitive and hypnotic. It's closest relatives would be blues, rock, hard rock and metal (of all types). The music is choppy, bassy and almost always distorted to some degree with different types of vocals, mostly male, which tend to blend and harmonize with the music. The guitars are often tuned to D or open D to get that low sound of metal-like distortion that the standard E tuning doesn't offer. The term "stoner rock" most likely comes from the perceived association of smoking marijuana and the fans of this music. However, smoking marijuana is not necessary to enjoy the music. These are some of the bands considered to be stoner rock: T-Rex, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Wolfmother, Black Sabbath, Fu Manchu, QOTSA.
Stoner Rock is fun to play on the guitar because of its simplicity in basic form; playing it is as simple as tuning the low E of your guitar down to D, then play the low D, A and D strings (the top three) open. From there, you can hit the 3rd fret and noodle the 5th fret on the same three strings - start playing this, while allowing the open strings to resonate between strums on the 3rd and 5th frets - you're playing the beginnings of Stoner Rock!

stoner metal 

Sub-style of metal. Sometimes also known as "doom metal" due to its often agonizingly slow pace, crushing heaviness, and gloomy lyrics. It's generally accepted to have been invented by Black Sabbath. Some stoner metal bands are retro-oriented, some aren't. Common elements include marijuana references (obviously), sci-fi/fantasy themes, extended instrumental jams, and tempos anywhere from plodding dirges to medium-paced rock (but rarely faster). Heavy-ass guitar riffage is essential.

Notable bands include Kyuss, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, etc.
Stoner metal is cool, but I don't like the retro aesthetic a lot of bands use.

stoner kitty 

A kitty that you get high on a regular basis. You take a hit of weed and blow your smoke in the kitty's face. After a while the kitty is a stoner just like you. It knows when you are about to get high and hangs out by you when you are packing the bowl or rolling the joint waiting for you to start blowing hits at it. It likes to get high. At first kitties don't like it when you get them high, but after a while they love it.
Jadice is such a stoner kitty. She follows the pipe around the circle from stoner to stoner waiting for her turn.

Stoner Drifting 

The inability to control the wandering capabilities of your body. Usually involves complete lack of focus and/or a destination. Stoner Drifting most likely begins just after or within an hour after smoking. Most participants don't even realize it is happening until they find themselves thinking, "What the fuck am I doing over here?".
I have no idea why I am in the laundry room, but that was some extreme Stoner Drifting.

Stoner Buddy 

Some one who you smoke copious amounts of the sticky green with, whenever you see each other. You have had so many epiphanies through the smoke filled room with him, that he knows you better then you know yourself. You realize that you don't need money to be happy in life, you just need companionship, and some dank weed. You are connected not only physically (no homo), but spiritually, mentally, and emotionally...(no homo) You have never been sober with your stoner buddy for more then an hour or two, and the primary discussions when you are sober are about what your going to do when you get high. Your stories always revolve around the herb and the highs you've had. Even if you haven't seen your stoner buddy for weeks, the time when you reunite is like no time has been passed at all. You would take a bullet for this person, and would sacrifice yourself an any way. You would cross miles of sub-zero temp. during finals week to toast a bowl at two in the morning. When you buy a phat sac, you don't consider it yours, you consider it ours. Your motto is fuck it, lemme smoke this bowl wit chu first. Your always low on cash (as most stoners are) and pool and hustle anything you can just for some more mary j. Can be found slouching in ridiculous positions with empty Doritos, Mtn Dew, cereal and fruit roll up boxes, and possibly a plate of pizza rolls, with chill as beats in the background, and incomprehensible mumbles coming from somewhere in the haze.

stoner poser 

Not to be confused with somebody who has only done it once or twice, a stoner poser is someone who tries to seem rebellious by bragging about smoking and rarely talks about anything that dosen't have to do with smoking. These guys smoke once a month, maybe, and think they are hardasses. Most of them mooch bud off of one or a group of people and never consistently pay. You can spot a stoner poser by their bob marley apparel and rasta gear.
