Sheltered white kid one: "Uh oh, watch out, there's a skin head coming down the street"

Sheltered White kid two: "Nah, don't worry, that guy is just trying to look hard, he doesn't even register on my shaydar"

"I hate driving through Compton, it makes my Shaydar go crazy"

"Watch out, that cop car reads a negative 4 on my shaydar, but the cop driving it is an 8!"

Metalhead equivalent to gaydar where one metalhead instinctively recognizes another.
I was at this indie show and one of the guitarists on stage was playing a seven-string Ibanez, occasionally windmilled and looked uncomfortable with NOT playing fast. My slaydar went off and I talked to him after the show; my suspicions were confirmed. We wound up talking about our favorite bands.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
