Bandsplaining

When someone goes above and beyond to illustrate they know more about a band than someone who has expressed interest in that band, especially with a condescending tone or attitude .
"I see you have a Motorhead shirt on. I bet you cant name 3 songs off the Inferno album . See, most people only know Ace of Spades, but....."

(This person was bandsplaining to someone else )

Second definition: when you ask a band what kind of music they play and they go on for 10 minutes, listing obscure bands and saying how you'll never really understand it until you listen to their album.

E.g- Chad: what kind of music does your band play?

Tim: we're like a mixture of punk and country, with a little jazz/reggae. We have some tones of Johnny Cash from '72-73, plus some hints of Zanphire. But like his B-side stuff, not his popular/mainstream stuff. But that doesnt really explain it all the way.

Tim is bandsplaining. Second definition submitted by Chris Jacobs

budsplaining

The "mansplaining" of the weed industry. When a cannabis user uninvitedly tries to educate another user about something they are already familiar with. Usually comes with the assumption that they know more about the topic, and is frequently targeted toward female smokers by men with fragile egos.
A customer walks into the dispensary, and approaches a female budtender with years of education and experience. He attempts budsplaining how thc percentages work to her and proceeds to complain about everything on the shelf, brags about how he was "smoking before she was alive," then finally walks out with the shittiest strain because it was cheapest.

Babysplaining

Less mature than boysplaining which, in turn, is a less mature version of mansplaining. This is as low as it gets.
I tried to ask him a question but he started babysplaining so I gave up.
