Jamiroquai
One of the best bands in the 90's.
Many people call themselves "fans", when they've only heard and seen the music videos for "Virtual Insanity" and "Canned Heat". These people believe that Jamiroquai is just one person, when it is actually a band.
Jamiroquai is known for the unique sound that makes it sound so different from other music. The lyrics in most, if not all, of their songs can either be unique or just plain catchy. Even though many fans criticize Jamiroquai's new sound (i.e. A Funk Odyssey, Dynamite), it, IMO, is still unique. I find Jamiroquai's old sound (Acid Jazz, Disco, Funk) and their new sound (Pop, Rock, Electronic) both great. However, IMO, their former years was the better of the two.
A few of Jamiroquai's songs seem to focus around the use of drugs, while others have a message or tell a story. A few of Jamiroquai's songs have the tendency to grow on a person. An example was me when I first heard "Black Capricorn Day". I used to hate it, but eventually, I heard it several more times and now I love it. They also seem to recycle elements from Live songs and tweak 'em around until they have a perfect song.
They were also known for the use of a, rather, underrated instrument called the yidaki (or didgeridoo). It was played by a former member named Wallis Buchanan.
Jamiroquai also used to have an awesome bassist named Stuart Zender. Songs to check with his awesome b-lines:
All of the 1st three albums because they rock.
Jamiroquai is also better Live. Many of Jamiroquai's songs sound much better Live than they are on the album, IMO. Jason Kay is also known for his humorous comments and his sense of humor. Jamiroquai also performs awesome covers of songs like Tighten Up, Don't Stop the Feeling, Our Time is Coming, Miss You, etc. IMO, these covers sound way better than the original songs themselves.

Space Cowboy is the perfect song to play when the legalization of cannabis comes.
Guy A: You heard of Jamiroquai?

Jamison
Literally meaning "son of James". Though originally a surname from Scotland and Ireland, Jamison is also used as a first name by parents who fear the name "James Jr." will doom their child to a career as a mechanic or garbage man (as is the fate of most "Juniors".) All men named Jamison have been found to be highly intelligent, funny, charming, classy, gorgeous and sexy as hell. Unfortunately they also have a mean streak and one should fear for their lives if they acquire any enemies named Jamison. He will kill you and bury you in the woods...then go screw your girlfriend.

Striver
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.
The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.
The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.
