When someone goes above and beyond to illustrate they know more about a
band than someone who has expressed interest in that
band, especially with a condescending tone or
attitude .
"I see you have a Motorhead shirt on. I
bet you cant name 3 songs off the Inferno album . See, most people only know Ace of Spades, but....."
(This person was bandsplaining to someone else )
Second
definition: when you ask a band what kind of
music they play and they go on for 10 minutes, listing obscure bands and saying how you'll never really understand it until you listen to their album.
E.g-
Chad: what kind of
music does your band play?
Tim: we're like a mixture of punk and country, with a little jazz/reggae. We have some tones of Johnny Cash from '72-73, plus some hints of Zanphire. But like his B-side stuff, not his popular/mainstream stuff. But that doesnt really explain it all the way.
Tim is bandsplaining. Second definition submitted by Chris Jacobs
