Gaijin Rock is essentially Japanese Rock music (J-Rock) but sang in a non-japanese language - typically English.
The music usually is a blend of rock and electronic music with lyrics usually referring to manga comics or manga-esque themes

2) Pretending not to understand the Japanese language and intentionally speaking bad Japanese to get out of any situation.

1) "Fuck yeah I gaijin smashed all of those hairless fuckers when I cannon-balled the onsen (hot spring) without washing off first!"
2) "I had to use my best gaijin smash twice today man. First, lost my train ticket so I was like 'doku ga iku (poison is going) haiku ticket man?' and the staff was like 'mada baka gaijinka? (another stuipid foreigner?)' and let me pass. Second, I was speeding in the rental car and I ran a red light. When the cop pulled me over, I showed him my international driving permit and said 'Nihon....go... ta... ta... tabemas.... Nihongotabemas....en.... Nihongo tabemasen....ka? (Shall we eat the Japanese language?).' To which he promptly gave me my permit and said very loudly 'Red is Stop! No again! Red.... stop!' and drove away happy to rid of the baka gaijin.

A nod between two foreigners (jp. gaikokujin, short: gaijin), who randomly pass each other on the street in Japan. Although they don't know each other, their common feeling of being an alien in Japan triggers the mutual need of performing the nod with the subcontext "You are not alone!" or "Yes, I think everything is strange here, too."
While commonly performed by foreigners who just arrived in Japan or who havn't been there for a long time, foreigners who have stayed in the country for a longer amount of time and have already immersed into the culture, might feel offended or annoyed by receiving the nod. Their stiff reaction on the other hand might be understood as "Dude, I have been here for some time now. Nothing is really special to me anymore." or "Please, don't embarrass me and yourself."
While the gaijin nod has become rare in urban areas with lots of foreigners, it is more likely to be observed and experienced in rural areas or suburbs.
Various discussions evolved around the question, whether it is appropriate to perform the gaijin nod or not. While some mark it as unnecessary and unnatural, others are convinced that it certainly does not hurt to share a smile on the street.

Gaijin 1: I experience a strong sense of comradeship, whenever I receive the gaijin nod on the street.
Gaijin 2: Everytime I receive the gaijin nod, it feels like I don't belong here.

Stupid Foreigner - In Japanese, baka means "stupid" and gaijin means "foreigner" and one thing an American in Japan gets used to hearing right away is "baka gaijin!"

The opposite of someone with "Yellow Fever." Men and women of Asian descent who are more attracted to those of non-Asian descent. The Term "Gaijin Hunter" uses the Japanese word "gaijin" meaning "foreigner" and "hunter", as in someone who is looking for something.
Charisma Man stopped at Gas Panic but couldn't tell if the girls just wanted attention from him or were serious Gaijin Hunters.
