lollapalooza 

A tour that Nirvana was supposed to headline in 1994. I think we all know how that played out.
Kurt Cobain's death cast a dark shadow over Lollapalooza 1994.

Lollapalooza 

An annual music festival which was established by Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell. Ran annually from 1991-1997, restarted in 2003, restarted again in 2005-present. Used to showcase many bands of the rock/metal/alternative/indie genres, and even featured some rap artists. In its earlier years, (91-97) its success was helped by many famous and enjoyed bands at the time, such as (but not limited to) Soundgarden, Primus, RHCP, Metallica, Korn, Tool, Green Day, Audioslave and Sonic Youth.

In recent years, it has lost popularity most likely blamed on unheard artists or Guitar Hero competitions onstage. As of 2010, Lollapalooza will most likely be known as 'cool' by the pop culture, thanks to Lady Gaga crowd surfing nearly naked. I, like many fans of the genres mentioned above will continue to enjoy Lollapalooza, but not without losing respect for the festival. This decline in respect will most likely be blamed on mainstream pop artists joining future lineups for the festival, following Lady Gaga's spectacle.
Guy: Dude! You wanna go to Lollapalooza with me?

Dude: Nah man, that place is garbage now.

Lollapalooza Cap 

A haircut from the 90's that consisted of a shorn lower half and a long ponytail on the crown on the head. It is sometimes referred to as a tellum, but not to be confused with scene hair. While usually spotted on white trash it is not relegated solely to white folks. Remember the dude from Living Colour? He had a Cap with dreads.

So why does this hairstyle still exsist? Please do the rest of us a favor and shave the top part of your head if you still have one. Oh, and Meghan thinks K-Fed should have one. Hell, he probably did.
"Hey dude, check out the Lollapalooza Cap on that Scott Stapp-looking motherfucker!"

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
