"manele" , sg "manea" Unfortunate mixture of influences of Gipsy. Turkish, Arabic, Romanian & Greek traditional music and pop music, of no artistic value. Has been popular in the last decade in Romania and other countries from Eastern Europe, but lastely is starting to lose ground.
Most of the Manele lyrics are illogic, gramatically incorrect and basically consist of the "big guy" braging about his wealth and "value", about his (probably in his dreams!) ability to pick up chicks,while wishing his ennemies to die of jealousy, or lamely whining about his chick who has left him and deserted his heart.
Interprets of manele distinguish themselves by having freaky and ridiculous stage names such as "Sorin the Golden Kid" or Vali the Storm" (in Romanian it sounds a lot worse, believe me!!!!) and by wearing totally unstylish/non-matching clothes in manner of gangsta wannabees (pathetic wanabees, I mean!), big and equally unstylish gold jewleries and at least one ton of hair gel.
A singer or fan of manele is called "manelist"; someone who hates them is "antimanelist"-in Romania, the puyblic oppinion is mostly divided among those two groups.
"Antimanelisti" are usually emo, goth, punk, hipsters or simply smart guys
A lot of radio stations and TV chains in Romania refuse to play manele

Manea/manele: "Manele" is a type of music that "cocalari" listen to.

Manele can damage your brain, kill neurons, make you go blind (science still can't explain why) and more.

If you listen to manele trough your headphones you are a "cocalar".

Florin Salam and Dani Mocanu are very good manele singers, but don't talk shit about them or they will attack you with their gang of "țigani"

Manele is the worst type of music you can listen to. I'd rather play muzică populară on my aux cord than manele.
-Vrei să ascultăm manele? (-Do you want to listen to manele?)
-Nu mersi, sunt deja homosexual. (-No thanks, I'm already gay)

-Ai vazut ce manea a scos Florin Salam? (-Have you seen Florin Salam's new manea?)

When the driver of a car is overly hesitant to pull onto a roadway, letting car after car pass even though they clearly could have made it seamlessly into the flow of traffic.
"We're gonna be waiting at this intersection all day if you don't stop manelling it."

"Sorry we we're so late, but Kristin manelled it when we turned onto Oak Street."
