Flower metal

Flower metal is a term of ridicule applied to power metal. Since power metal itself can cover a broad range of styles, from Manowar's aggressive and loud war anthems to Power Quest's keyboard-saturated melodies, flower metal can be used to specify metal such as the latter.

Flower metal's label can extend well into progressive metal territory.

The term shares some characteristics with flowery language, such as being characteristically over the top and pompous. Other allusions made by the term include the statistically significant number of modern-day hippies which comprise the music's performers and audience, the often bright and colourful images portrayed by the lyrics and tone (although this is certainly not universal) and the delicacy of the compositions, which often interleave and overlap many different instruments and effects like petals, sometimes even whole orchestras.

The term, from an opposite-to-deflowered perspective, may also refer to the vocalists, who's vocal ranges often go as high as prepubescent boys' and young girls' (as well as being high due to the hippy nature of the material).

Seen from a mathematical perpective, the flower content of a song is proportional the the factorial of the product of the frequency of the vocals f, the song length l, the order of complexity O of the percussion, the standard deviation w of the instruments from those of the average metal band, the exponential of the ridiculousness r of the subject matter and the number of solos s. This relationship is expressed in the song's Kai factor where:

K = (flOwe^rs)!

To obtain the complete floweryness of a song also requires knowing the vocal noise level n, the year in which the lyrics are set y, the number of issues the song attempts to preach p and the total number of instruments used I. This gives an overall flower value:

F(song) = (pIK*cosh(y - present_year))/n

Flower metal can be mixed with water to produce Flower oxide, which can then be baked into Oxybread. Consuming this makes one an oxymoron, requiring a steady dose of antioxidants to become a moron. Morons can be annihilated by their antiparticle the lesson.

IMPORTANT: Flower metal is not to be confused with Fhigher metal!
Alice has her flower metal playing again, I can hear the digeridoos from here.

I am sorry, your song does not contain enough dragons and/or robots to be labelled flower metal.

Look at that hippy with his long hair, his guide to Bash and his flower metal.

Alex: Surely she can't compare to my sweetheart. Mereda is like the sun, making my dull life sparkle. She will always be in my heart.

Edward: True, Mereda is definitely flowerpetally. But so is my biology partner, Hariette. She helps me so much, making the ever-so-difficult class seem like first grade. And yet she never accepts a compliment.

FlowerPetal Disease

FlowerPetal disease is a similar disease to Hanahaki, being quite similar to the coughing of flowers by Patient A The causing of FlowerPetal disease is from in relationship, one sided love, where Patient A or B show no reply of feelings back, but date the person pitfully, to taunt the relationship, pretending to love them, making the person who liked them, blindsided, unaware of the falsehood of lies being used against them, the person faking the love, may end up ignoring the person with feelings, or cheat on them, etc. breaking their hearts slowly, then break up with person who had feelings, hence causing FlowerPetal Disease, though, it is quite rare as chances of it happening are quite low, 2/10 people in a room may have it. Patients may use a mask when they first discover they have it, then get medicine prescribed for it once it becomes worse. Surgery is an option, though is quite risky of death. 5/10 patients who have gotten the surgery have died, others getting extremely bad symptoms after the surgery, leading to needing meds to help with that, or more surgeries, so most advise not to get the surgery, and to try the medicine to see if that works.

Usually as you have it longer, you will notice that you can predict or notice the days it will act up, or before you start coughing, the flowers invade a small portion of your lungs, making it harder to breathe, but do not make it too much harder to do daily actives, though making it where you may need to take more breaks.
