Get the Julian Casablancas mug.kaz-buh, -bah, kahz- citadel; a walled central area of a town or city in North Africa, especially Algiers. Also, the older quarter of such a town or city.
The word was popularized in Western cultures in the early 1980s thanks to the song "Rock the Casbah" by British punk band The Clash. The song's lyrics have undergone multiple convoluted interpretations since it was released in 1982. The lyrics of the song are better understood if one knows how the song came to be written. In short, they describe an Arab king's (called a "sharif," a noble who is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad) efforts to stop his subjects from listening to Western music, such as ordering his military's jet fighters to bomb any people in violation of the ban. The pilots ignore the order, and instead play rock music on their cockpit radios. The population then proceed to "rock the casbah" by dancing to the music. This scenario was inspired by the ban on Western music in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The community’s salmon-pink palette was suggested by the rosy sandstone walls, and its hilltop clubhouse, introduced by a Middle Eastern-style water stair, was placed to overlook the villas like a casbah surveying so many riads.

Denmark. Rebelled against the establishment while in a Manhattan prep school.

Noun
A town in Northern Virginia run full of clout chasing kids and teens. They all look the part of wearing expensive brands like Hollister, Stüssy, and Supreme. Not to mention, Vans are the figurepoint of any outfit for guys and girls alike (hint hint practically none of them skate yet they look like it.). Teens would beg their parents to sice them their credit card to use on Supreme drops and other shopping experiences ( hense the name Cashburn). At the same time, the huge majority of kids look towards their instagrams and snap scores as what define them as a person. Not to mention the drugs as well, that’s a self explanatory thing.
