Dream Theater

A kick ass progressive metal band from NY. They constantly get tons of shit from stupid preps (see: sluts and teenybopper) who listen to crappy pop music such as Nsync and Backstreet Boys and tons of other pop shit. Preps and jocks have no claim to call good music shit because the music they listen to is shit.

prep: hey dream theater sux nsync rulz man

jock: YO BITCH DREAM THEATER SUX GANGSTA RAP RULZ YO

Me: The music you listen to is shit.

dream theater

A prog-metal band hailing from the New York area, have been around for almost 20 years. A band that a lot of people would not like if they heard them. Most of their songs are over 10 minutes long, over the top musicianship, long jams, nothing that could possibly reach the mainstream audience in this day and age. However, they have a large cult follwoing all over the world for those who can tolerate this kind of music, myself included. Influenced by prog acts like Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson, with the crushing metal of Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath, Dream theater has forged a sound that has brought them to the top of progressive music and are the true definition of prog-metal. If you're into prog music and enjoy metal, give Dream Theater a listen and perhaps you will join the cult.

Dream Theater Fan: Yo dude, you listen to Dream Theater?

Dude: Dream what?

Firesign Theater

Comedy group from the late 60's/early 70's who made such classic albums as "Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand me the Pliers" and "All Hail Lennon and Marx"
(with photos of John Lennon and Groucho Marx on the cover). Off-the-wall; very drug inspired and fun to listen to while doing drugs. College kids from that era still quote them to this day; i.e. "United Snakes of America", "Don't eat with your hands, use your entrenching tools." Most fun when listening with Koss headphones.

Let's get fucked up and listen to Firesign Theater in my dorm room.

Bob is a knob tweaker, he's one of those dudes you see in a coffee shop twisting the knobs on a synth to make atmospheric music.

movie theater rule

When going into a movie theater to choose a seat, the first seats that people look for are in empty rows, trying for as long as possible to not have to sit in the same row as another person or group of people. This is repeated until there are people in every row and then you HAVE to sit in a row with other people.
This is the movie theater rule.
This rule is offen appiled subconciously with out even realising it.

I applied the movie theater rule as I chose my seat from the seats availiable.
