Soundsystem 

The slang term for "PA" (public address) gear, or 'sound reinforcement'.
This term first became popular in 1960's Jamaica, in the reggae & dub
music scenes. King Tubby was a pioneer in the usage of custom PA systems,
so was Lee Scratch Perry. In addition to the same formula that 'rock' systems use (two or more large "main" speakers, subwoofers, mixer,
microphones) dub "soundsystems" also utilize effects & devices for excessive
sound treatment (reverbs, delays, sound effect devices, samplers, effects units, etc)

This "dub" discipline carries on today, bands like Twilight Circus
Soundsystem & Dead Panda Soundsystem hold the belief that an
artist is their own best engineer, too much is at risk with an 'outsider'
(hired PA/soundperson).

The customized nature of the modern "soundsystem" underscores the importance of sound quality to the dub &/or electronica artist.
That band last nite had a massive soundsystem. It was so loud my beer
hopped off the table.

009 Sound System 

Almost the best thing ever. But because of being overused with Audioswap it's reputation is very low. Many people dislike it EXCEPT FOR ME. One of the many songs is Dreamscape, which is my favorite. Many people say it s***s or that it's g*y. And to those haters... go jump off a cliff...
Me: Oh hey, 009 Sound System! I love this stuff!
YouTube user: get a life 009 sound system freak u must b stuped 2 litsen 2 dis crap
Me: Oh please, you wouldn't know music if it hit you in the face. Oh, by the way, look up how to have good grammar, it'll help you ALOT...

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!
