Berklee-Core

A style of music most associated with bands from Berklee College of Music, or other music schools with popular music programs. Common bands associated with the genre include Vulfpeck, Lettuce, Moonchild, and any artist Quincy Jones happens to be working with at the time.

The key sign of BC is jazz/R&B influenced pop or rock music, with a predominant fan base of upper class white kids that think they’re smarter than you because you didn’t pick up on the septuplet phrasing over the hemiola or some other made up mumbo jumbo.

“Yeah, He’s a Berklee-Core guy. Don’t ask him about Snarky Puppy or you’ll end up getting negative harmony mansplained to you two hours later”

Berkeley

The birthplace of the free speech movement at the University of California at Berkeley in 1965. The epicenter of left wing politics in the 1960's and 1970's. A funky college town filled with aging hippies, university students and upwardly mobile young families. The location of the confrontation between police and protestors in People's Park in May 1969, where student protestor James Rector was shot and killed by police. The birthplace of new French and California cuisine through Alice Waters' Chez Panisse restaurant. The city where German film director Werner Herzog ate his shoe. The birthplace of the Acme Bread Company and Peets' Coffee & Tea, the coffeehouse chain that pioneered direct purchase of coffee beans from growers and would influence Starbucks and numerous other chains. Location of Moe's Books and Krishna Copy Center, the first photocopy center in the U.S.A.

Man, Berkeley was the center of the universe in the sixties and seventies.

Berklee College of Music

The best music school on the face of the earth. It is located in Boston, MA. Not to be confused with the other Berkeley in California. Berklee in boston is spelt this way because it was founded by Lee Berk, and the name was just switched around to make "Berklee".

side note: there is an MIT (Mass. Institute of Technology) in boston, and another MIT (Musician's Institute of Technology) in California. So here's how it goes:

Berklee in Boston: Popular Music
Berkeley in Cali: Popular Gen Ed

MIT in Boston: Popular Gen Ed
MIT in Cali:Popular Music

Strange? yes.

Berklee kicks ass, juliard and miami can suck it.

UC-Berkeley

AKA Cal. Known for liberal politics and perfect campus location. What the hell is in Palo Alto anyway? Stanford party scene my ass. The typical Stanford party: eat a bag of Milano cookies and stay up till the tonight show. You are hella weak. Also Berkeley was rated #1 public school in the nation...AGAIN. Stanford, what can I say, not good enough for the Ivy Leaguers not tight enough for the bay. That must suck.

ME: Sweet! I got into UC-Berkeley!
