One of Nirvana's quoted influences, having a similar self destructive, downbeat feel that personifed the Grunge movement in the early 90s. The Pixies were a little more colorful and violent sounding than Nirvana and had a good female vocalist on some tracks.

The Pixies are Surfer Rock, but their style is from Psychedelic to Punk to New Wave
The song "Where is My Mind" at the end of Fightclub re-kindled some interest in their style.

Mischievous little elves.

Came to be one of the coolest bands ever.

But elves nonetheless.
Yo, the MLF's are playing tonight.

You mean Pixies?

Yeah.

Oh.

pixelbitching 

Originating with the point and click adventure games that the computer gaming market was overflowing with in the 80's and 90's, pixelbitching is the act of sweeping your mouse cursor across any given screen of such a game, in order to find the minute cluster of pixels you need to progress. Often used by gamers as a last resort when they can't find any other items/pathways to proceed.

The direct result of pre-millenial psychic expectancy
"Yeah, I got stuck while I was playing last night, and ended up pixelbitching three screens before I finally found the tiny item I needed!"

A Pikie is an inbred Irish gypsy. They can usually be found on caravan sites boning their cousins.
It is advisable not to walk your dog in a pikie infested area as they may steal it and try and sell it back to you at a price of around £5.
They also enjoy picking fights with people and will often use weapons.
A Pikie can be recognised by their crappy clothes, or that fact that their dog leads are made of bail twine.
Their language is also not very clear and it is easy to mishear a pikie.
That fucking pikie stole my dog.

Snatch The Language, its not English, its not Irish, its just.....Pikie.

Pixelvision 

The means by which mid-major basketball fans watch their favorite and not-so-favorite teams on the Internet in teeny-tiny windows. Pixelvision sometimes can be awesome, sometimes can be crappy, but ALWAYS gets the job done.

pixel-fucking

When someone pays way too much attention looking at a visual effects shot in a film. Often happens when examining the grain of a composite element to make sure it matches the film stock. Someone who pixel-fucks pays more attention to things like grain than the overall effectiveness of the shot. This is often because they are small-minded bean-counters, and miss the point of a shot entirely.

Closely related to 'frame-fucking'. See also 'pixel-fucking microscope'.
"Man, I can't believe that the director is pixel-fucking my shot."
