Snap music is a low tempo hip-hop that started in urban Atlanta where snapping fingers as rhythm marking is used, sometimes uses whistling as an accompaniment. Apparently the term was first coined in Vibe magazine. Some people who have been mentioned as starting the movement are Dem Franchize Boyz, D4L, David Banner, the Ying Yang Twins, and producer Mr. Collipark (a.k.a Michel Crooms, DJ Smurf and Beat-n-Ass).
There are apparently a few know inceptions of early snapping. Bobby Badfingers is a entertainer who calles himself the “fastest snapper in the world”. He performs music on stage and TV and uses his snapping as castanets. John Fare, a lobotomized Canadian performance artist, that thought himself of snapping his lost fingers to a rhythm when made test in the Ramachandran mirrored box. And in fiction, there is an unnamed character on J.L.Borges’ The Garden of Forking Paths who can’t talk thus develops a whole communication system based on snapping.
Some people who use to snap fingers during a singing performance are Frank Sinatra, the 1970’s progressive rocker Gentel Giant, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff from Philadelphia, Gail Wilson and Johnny Cash.
There is a classic scene on the film West Side Story where a performers group snap their fingers as a chorus. Will Smith, the host at Philadelphia's Live 8 concert in 2005, told his audience to snap their fingers at three-second intervals to mark the death of a malnourished, diseased child in Africa who, he confidently said, dies every three seconds. This later became the TV Snap Ads.
Snap music has also been labeled a southern “laid-back crunk”.

When a person covering a song alters the gender pronouns to maintain that they are most definitely heterosexual
Girl singing Take Me to Church: My lovers got humour, he's a giggle at a funeral
Other person: Thats not the words?
Girl: But I had to do a musical no homo or EVERYONE will think I'm a LESBIAN

Head music is term that originated in the Midwest in the 1970s. The term is used to describe a quality within a song, an album, or an artist’s body of work that puts you in a deep contemplative place. Head music isn’t exactly a genre in the traditional sense, but could include certain 60s psychedelic, 70s prog rock, and beyond. Though head music is a cross-genre phenomenon - there are some common elements which generally include droning base or synthesizer sounds, long crescendoing guitar solos, and if there are lyrics they are deeply moving, thought provoking, and paint vivid imagery. Head music transports you to a different place. It creates an atmosphere where the listener and the musicians are one.
Person one:
”Here, listen to this! It’s head music... Put on some headphones and listen to the whole album straight through without interruption.”
Person two: “Should I smoke some grass before hand?”
Person one: “Definitely!”

Someone with whom you share similar, almost identical, music tastes. Like a best friend can finish your sentences, a musical soulmate will always be able to bounce the next verse back at you.
Budders, is my musical soulmate. I swear we know every song. We even have games we play to try & stump each other!
