Rock opera

A music album that tells a story essentially. A rock opera will have many tracks on it, but they will all follow a storyline. Rock operas arent really "opera" music, but are generally rock. Just about anyone can like them, and the music is generally superb.
The first rock opera ever was Tommy, by The Who. Another great rock opera is The Wall, by Pink FLoyd.

soap opera

A monotonous television drama that is on everyday, five days a week, 52 weeks out of the year. Soap operas are known for their attrocious acting, their unrealistically attractive women who have had 5 or 6 plastic surgeries.

On a soap opera the average age difference between a parent and child is roughly 8 years. (Yes, usually a 40 year old woman on a soap will have a son that is over 30)

On any given soap opera episode there are anywhere from 3-6 different storylines, usually interrelated somehow. Every few years or so, the same episodic material is completely recycled. Soap operas are all about couples seeking to elope because their families are enemies. On most soaps there are between 15-30 characters broken down into 2 or 3 families. Someway the families know each other. Either they are business partners or elsewhere.

A soap opera is a show where you can't go 5 minutes without seeing a tampon commercial.

In every soap, in every scene their is a fireplace in the background and a tote of wine.

A soap opera is a show to watch for people with a lot of time on their hands or don't have a life!!!

space opera

Generally speaking, refers to an epic adventure in space that focuses less on the technical details and more on good vs. evil and action. The mechanics of how things work ('hyperspace', 'the force') tend to be glossed over, as opposed to traditional "hard sci-fi", like Poul Anderson's "Tau Zero", where realism is emphasized, generally leading to stories smaller in scope.

Not an absolute term - Star Wars is more space opera than Star Trek, which itself is more space operaish than Deep Impact
