couch melodia

A style of music where the song being played can metaphorically walk into the listeners brain and sit on their figurative "brain-couch." Because the music is sitting on the couch and just resting in the listener's brain, it soon becomes a part of their psyche as they are listening, providing for a subconscious life-soundtrack of sorts.

The music is usually electronic, soothing, and includes subtle variations of numerous sonic elements over a consistent (and sometimes very complex) chord progression.

It is not uncommon for a listener of couch melodia to walk away from their music playing device with headphones in ear and drag their player off of their desk as a result of the misconception that there is no music playing.

Melodeath 

Person 1: what's ur favorite melodeath band?
Person 2: I like Arch Enemy \m/
Melodeath by ShockLtd August 22, 2011
She's an extroverted introvert with magical possibilities!

She's fun, vibrant, funny and very cool to hang out with and she's 420 friendly! She has a huge heart for helping people! She does not play games, she's straight up, honest, silly, flirty, respectful and loyal! People often take her kindness for weakness! MelodIE is by no means stupid and you should NEVER underestimate her in a fight!

She has a small circle of ride or die friends because she knows that people are shady and she's tired of trusting the wrong people. So, she just does not DO people any longer!

Melodie with an IE is pretty, delicious, sweet, naughty, freaky, seXy, sensual, romantic and kind!

She's hard to love but she loves hard!

She has a strength that no one knows about and she can handle a whole lot but even she has her limitations.

Melodie is very intelligent, has an outstanding character, has every day common sense, very creative as far as her passion in life goes and she has a very sassy and sexy disposition. She can do anything she sets her mind too! Her personality is down to earth and charismatic. People love to be around her because of her magnetic personality!

She may be a BBW girl but she's gorgeous and people flock around her and they love all her deliciousness because she's unique and genuine! She's for real! Not many of those left in the world so if you find a MelodIE, with an IE, don't ever let her go!
Melodie noticed that the other girls were intimidated by her presence and it made her sad!

melodic death metal 

A subgenre of death metal which itself is a subgenre of metal.

Melodic death metal is basically all the aggression and brutality of death metal, but will include melodic riffs, guitar harmonies, sung vocals as well as scream/roar vocals (which are also more inteligable than standard death metal vocals) and slower solo's that aren't always pure shred among other defining points.

Quite possibly THE best genre of metal.
Melodic death metal? Try In Flames, Arch Enemy, At the Gates, Dark Tranquility and Soilwork man.

That's some gooooood shit.

Melodic death metal 

A musical sub genre of death metal, which in turn is also a sub genre of metal as a whole. It started during the early 90's, and began to really take off by the mid 90's, when many pioneering bands of the style would release some of their best work. Many credit Carcass as the band that invented this style, and various bands from Sweden (In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates) would be credited as pioneers of the "Gothenberg sound", which came to be dominant in the genre later on.

Melodic death metal can best be described as a mixture of the melody/progression from NWOBHM and thrash metal bands, and the sheer brutality of traditional death metal. Vocals are usually growled/shrieked, but clean vocals are used as well. Lots of guitar harmonies are used, along with aggressive riffs and drumming. There is even use of acoustic guitar as well. Sheer ass-kickery at it's finest!

In the early 2000's and more recent years, this style would greatly influence many American metalcore bands. The style has continued to develop in Europe as well.
In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Kalmah - all great melodic death metal bands!

Melodic Death Metal 

Possibly one of the greatest Sub-Genres in all of Heavy Metal. It combines the brutality, low guitar and bass tunings, complex and fast drumming, guttural vocals (while usually higher pitched than in normal Death Metal) with focus more on melody and harmony more than brutality. Electric guitars typically have complex rhythm, structure and riffs to them and combine low riffing, palm muting and power chords with "mini-solo" like parts that involve higher notes and odd note groupings. The genre started in the early 90's and has spanned from there. Some great/notable bands including a song are:
Carcass: Heartwork
Arch Enemy: Bury Me An Angel
In Flames: Jester's Script Transfigured
Dark Tranquility: Punish My Heaven
At The Gates: The Swarm
Dethklok: Laser Cannon Deth Sentence
Children Of Bodom: Every Time I Die
Amon Amarth: War Of The Gods
The Duskfall: Shoot It In
Callenish Circle: Suffer My Disbelief
Hey wanna go see Arch Enemy? Michael Amott is the master of Melodic Death Metal!
Melodic Death Metal bands are so talented.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
