Songxiety 

A complex disorder or group of disorders which can manifest from owning too many (or too few) CDs, Records or MP3s.

Also it is often experienced by DJs at clubs when unfamiliar with someone else's record collection.

Symptoms include mild panic attacks brought on by being 5/6 the way into the final song on a playlist and not being able to find a suitable follow up; not enjoying any of the music you choose because you are too busy creating the playlist;
Having badly organised songs, remembering a really great tune to play then being confronted with a file named 'Unknown Artist - Track 4.rm' and not knowing if it's the right song or even if it will play on iTunes.

All these can lead to an unusual amount of alcohol consumption by the DJ, followed by Bon Jovi, YMCA and Always Look On The Bright Side of Life.
Dancing girl: 'You got anything by 'Sick Boys Club'?
DJ: Who? Man I'm busy can you, like, write it down or something?
Dancing girl: Hey I got the CD here, now chill out...
DJ: Yeah sorry I can't find anything good to go next, just a touch of songxiety, pass it over.

sangxiety 

Emotional distress suffered either from:
(1) Wondering if your musical vocalizations are/were/will be satisfactory to your audience, or
(2) Having to agonizingly listen to horrifically-awful vocalizations dispensed by someone who did NOT experience much if any of da caring/concerned feelings described in Example #1!
In da humorous "face da music" article in an old issue of "Readers Digest", said article's author opines dat a juvenile-court judge's forcing a habitually-delinquent teen to suffer da sangxiety of hearing his mom sing "America the Beautiful" on da court karaoke would be a much-more-effectively-unpleasant punishment --- and a far greater deterrant of future crime --- than da standard penalties of jail time, community service, etc.

Sigxiety 

The acute emotional frustration and mild rage experienced when a traffic light transitions from green to yellow to red just as you approach the intersection, forcing an unexpected and irritating stop.
“As I sped toward the intersection, the dreaded sigxiety hit when the light turned yellow just as I was about to pass through, forcing me to slam on the brakes.”

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.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
