Term used to describe any day in which a musician of critical acclaim passes on. The term generally refers to the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper passed on when their plane crashed, but has in recent times been used to describe the passing of other legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon and most recently, Michael Jackson. The term originated from Don Mclean's song 'American Pie', and the event itself is a very emotional time for the music industry, and of course the many dedicated fans of the icon themselves... but it is important to remember that although they are physically gone, the musical contribution they have made to our lives and the music scene in general shall remain with us always...
The day the music died:
Buddy Holly
The Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens
Elvis Presley
John Lennon
Michael Jackson
R.I.P :(
Please note that my opinion is not above other people: you may have your own musical icons that deserve to be up here, which is perfectly fine- but this only refers to the most famous and recognisable musicians where a day the music died has been made upon their passing.

Get the one direction mug.Related Words
A directioner is a fan of a boyband, One Direction. 1D was formed in 2010 on the X Factor. The boys names are Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne.
Types of directioners you'll meet in this fandom (mostly girls):
Nice Ones:
These girls welcome people into the fandom. They don't say rude things about the boy's girlfriends, and are addicted to the internet. And like any fan, they fangirl like a mofo.
Animals:
These girls are vicious and angry who want the boys to themselves. Unless you've been a fan since the X Factor, you're not considered a fan. They call them 'directionators'. They'll exclude anyone who doesn't know an inside joke about 1D, will harass the boys' girlfriends, and spam the boys' twitter. Most are immature and horny. They'll also rip apart anyone who doesn't think 1D is perfect.
Stalker:
Another type is the hardcore stalker. Not only do they know every single detail about the boys and stalk their social media sites, but they'll follow them in real life and stalk them to hotels.
Directionator:
These girls are likely new to the fandom, and pretend they know everything about the boys, but really, they barely even know their names. They're also known as 'carrots' as that was a reference from the video diaries. Some girls can evolve out of their carrot stage, and others will be trapped there. Directionators are seen as bad, and you don't want to be one.

Get the Directioner mug.A group of fans addicted to the sex gods Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik who are in the greatest boy band on the face of the earth One Direction. This fandom is very kind to one another but when in contact with another fandom things can get crazy. They only look out for the boys and for each other. Most in other country's like England have been fans since the X Faxtor but others like the US fans have been fans since they knew about them in their country. Directioners are the equivalent to the FBI. They have finger prints, addresses, old phone numbers, leaked songs, pieces of hair, ultrasounds, and even penis sizes and color, so technically they are better than the FBI.
Directioner #1: hey did you hear the new 1D song?!?!
Directioner #2: yesssss Omg it is amazayn!!!! Phenominiall!!!!!
Taylor swift fan: hi!
Directioners: STAY AWAY WITCH YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!!
