A musical atrocity whose hit lyrics include . . . ‘I don’t want to be anything other then what I’ve been trying to be lately’. Of course he wouldn't because he's afaggot that sings shitty music.
Gavin Degraw's lyrics are so bad that when you look them up in a search engine, they are just crying out not to be lyrics ---> "I don't want to be lyrics"

Gavin DeGraw

It's about damn time that someone come with a decent definition for this up-and-coming mega-superstar...

With a combination of a sexy voice (I can say that even though I'm a guy because it's what it is), great vocals, and just raw talent, Gavin DegRaw is one great rookie of the music business.

Gavin DeGraw, hailing from South Fallsburg, New York (near The Catskills Mountains, close to my hometown), was born in February of 1977 to a prison-guard father, and specialist mother.

Signed with "J Records", his album, "Chariot", has sold roughly 800,000 copies, and counting...

For those who are stuck on "I Don't Wanna Be", and "Chariot", you haven't heard a snippet of it! Listen to songs like...

"Follow Through"
"Meaning"
"More than Anyone"
"Belief"
"Crush"
"Just Friends"
"Over-rated"
"(Nice to Meet You) Anyway"
"Chemical Party"

He's also done many acoustic versions of songs, as well as many remakes of past great songs such as "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cook, and an awesome remake of "We Are the Champions by Queen"

All-in-all, given a good two years and great promotion, this man will be one of the biggest household names in music since The Beatles.
Bob: Gosh! Music sucks these days! Is this all that I have to listen to?!??!?!

Gavin DeGraw believer: Have you heard of Gavin DeGraw?

Bob: Nah, is he any good?

Gavin DeGraw Believer: You know who God is, right?

Bob: Yeah...

Gavin DeGraw believer: Well, he's like him, just in the music industry

Bob: What do you mean?

Gavin DeGraw believer: He will come to save us from all things bad; GREATNESS....SHEER....GREATNESS

the BEST perfomer/ songwriter, he is so romantic and know s how to touch your heart, his cd never gets old, and screw you if you only like him for "I dont want to be", there is so much more to him. CHARIOT STRIPPED IS THE BEST CD EVER!

To "follow through" (when farting).

From the Gavin DeGraw lyric: "Aaow, if you wanna be with me, you know you have to FOLLOW THROUGH..."

This is clearly much funnier to a British audience, and when the song was released over here - no-one could take it seriously... not even 12-year old girls.
Urgh! Dude, it smells like you just did a Gavin DeGraw...

Striver 

Share definition Flag
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
