Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as β€œplanetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine β€œreflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

The more socially accepted title for any subgenre, song, or artist of rock music -esp. thundering rock- which utilizes elements of irony, satire, metaphor, musical tone, poetry etc. to specifically target and rebel against an idea, trend, assumption, etc. which infringes upon, misrepresents, limits/arrests, and/or damages the integrity, health, and/or beneficial habits/personal image/reputation of a healthy personality and lifestyle not necessarily in agreement with mainstream society.

Origin of the term is unknown but was briefly repopularized by underground rock band Savage Insight frontman Antonio Lee when used as a heated response to a local recording studio representative attempting to categorize the artists as "goth-punk edged rock."
"'Punk rock is a conforming, assumptive and derogatory label used by dilletantes, and heartless manipulators...based on contempt, it is a term based on fashion, style, and elitism. The guy is a rebel rocker."

Rebel rock has many examples:

Songs
Irony
"Rockstar" -Nickelback
Sung by blockbuster rock group as a case of irony in that none of the actual members genuinely live anywhere close to the details in the music.

Satire
"Everybody's Fool" -Amy Lee/Evanescence
Case of satire showcasing common viewpoints and beliefs held by mass media and popular public assumption contrasted with the reality of a celebrity's lifestyle challenges as a overall superficial and negative image.

Artists: Iggy Pop, Mark Wood (Against the Grain) etc.
