Brand Dropping 

Mentioning that you're wearing an expensive brand of clothing, using an expensive piece of technology, or bragging about other items that you own which are of high value. Brand Dropping is similar to name dropping, the main difference is mentioning merchandise in lieu of a person.

Jon: Dude! Watch it, if you spill that drink on my $ 350 Zegna shirt I'm gonna lose it.

Dave: Stop brand dropping Jon. No one cares what kind of shirt that is.

Band Dropping

(v) The act of including your favorite alternative or indie bands into conversation, just to show others that you listen to bands they have never heard of. Similar to name dropping, but mentioning independent bands instead of people.

Mike: "So I was listening to the new Fleet Foxes album the other day...."
Steve: "Who's Fleet Foxes?"
Mike: "Oh, you've probably never heard of them..."
Steve: "God Mike, you're always Band Dropping."

band name dropping 

Directly related to name dropping, the act of creating an overly large list of bands in an effort to appear more culturally secure rather than a true love of music. The "band name dropper" is trying to appear more cultured and music knowledgeable that they really are. Intelligent people are able to see through the facade and this is a negative habit.

"Oh Hey! I like Tool, The Stones, Metallica, Foo Fighters, blah blah blah, Styx, The Beatles, blah blah.. (usually by now you tune out again.)"

Anyone who has an online profile with more than 7-10 bands in the "music I like" section is a high candidate for band name dropping.
