Someone who still believes in saving the planet but understands that it cant be done in the traditional ways.
They believe in peace and love, but also in protecting themselves if the situation calls for it.
They also shower and have a job.
But they still smoke weed.
And they believe in gun rights.

A type of radio music, also known as AC, is a genre that isolates complexity. There is a subgenre of pop music that is called teen pop, including artists such as Little Mix, Ariana Grande, One Direction, Selena Gomez, etc. Adult Contemporary would completely avoid Teen Pop sounds and more focus on being alternative, complex and independent, the style would focus on sounding like soul, disco, r&b, funk, electronic, hard rock and pop from between the 60s and the 90s.
Adult Contemporary is common in old school radios.

An avant garde style of dance that evolved from Modern dance but can be anything and everything. Often involved floorwork. But not always.
In the words of David Rose "It's a general store, but it's also a very specific store. It's also not just a store, it's like a place where people can come and get coffee or drinks, but it's not a coffee shop, nor is it a bar. Yeah, it's an environment. And yes, we will be selling things, but it's more like a branded immersive experience."

I saw a contemporary dance show and it was amazing but I had no idea what was going on... the whole time.
