Me: My favorite genre of music is Schizophrenic Pop.
Friend: What the hell is that?

A term coined by Pete Townshend of The Who. Power Pop is a Rock & Roll sub-genre that has its' roots from 60s Pop and Rock bands such as The Beatles, The Who, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, and The Hollies. Major Power Pop elements include strong melodies, upbeat guitars, and tight vocal harmonies.
The first true "Power Pop Wave" regarded by many Popsters began in the early 70s. With bands such as Badfinger, The Raspberries, and Big Star setting the rules, but at the same time embracing its' true 60s foundation. Through the late 70s and into the 80s, Power Pop began incorporating more Hard Rock, New Wave, and Punk Rock elements while still maintaining a strong Pop core. Bands like Cheap Trick, The Knack, The Flamin Groovies, XTC, 20/20, The Only Ones, The Beat, The Real Kids, and The Stems are strong examples of more complex varieties of Power Pop styles.
When the 90s came, the genre became less popular. But behind the shadows of the Grunge, Metal, Hip Hop, Rap, and Alternative movements, a new breed of Power Popsters have emerged. Jellyfish, Redd Kross, Teenage Fanclub, The Posies, Cotton Mather, and Sloan are prime examples.

A bad dude according to Senile Joe Biden. However it isn't quite clear if or what Corn Pop actually is other than cereal. If anyone elderly uses this word consider placing them into Nursing Home.

A genre of Japanese music that was popularized in the 1980's. City pop does not have a specific definition; almost any type of Japanese pop music that has some sort of western influence can be considered city pop. It is a type of Japanese pop that has an urban feel to it which somehow makes you nostalgic about the life you lived in Japan in the 80's, even if you weren't born by that time or have never even been to Japan. A truly exquisite type of music that can change the atmosphere in seconds.

Take a soda can that is empty, lube it up nice and slick then slide it into your partners vagina/anus. Get up real nice and close and start humming loudly into the end of the can that is sticking out. This will create a unique vibrating sensation. Continue to do this louder and louder until your partner pisses or shits on your face due to the vibrations.

When the prison guard rapped an inmate on the head with his Billy club, a big old pop knot rose up on his head!
