Tunnel banger

(noun) Circa 1994-2000, a record—often hardcore and aggressive—that whipped the crowd into a frenzy during the prime-time hour after 1 a.m. at the NYC club's Sunday-night party.
"To truly understand the definition of a "Tunnel banger," you first need to know about The Tunnel itself. Peter Gatien's NYC nightclub was a hotspot for house music and techno in the early '90s, but it wasn't until the creation of a Sunday-night party called "Mecca" that the Tunnel would cement its place in hip-hop lore. When Funkmaster Flex took over the party's prime-time slot—roughly 1 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.—in the mid-'90s, the "Tunnel banger" was born."

"I'd play a record on the air and say it was the new Tunnel banger."

2: to only work ones hardest or give ones best effort when one wants to prove a point to someone. On other occasions minimal necessary effort is be given.

Steve was lebroning hardcore yesterday after George said his best work was average at best.
