Goth rock

Goth rock is a sub-genre of post punk music which originated in the UK in the late 70s (specifically 1979).

The first goth song is said to be "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus because even though the song was supposed to be written tongue-in-cheek, the band performed it with naive seriousness and the audience understood it with seriousness.

Goth rock characteristics include a 4 / 4 post punk beat, a drum machine, baritone vocals (common in men, like Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy), flanging guitar used for atmosphere and a prominent bassline. Some goth bands use characteristics of tribal music in their work, too (see: Southern Death Cult and Stairs - Uncertain Journey by Christian Death).

Contrary to belief, goth has not "evolved" and throughout the decades, the sound has relatively stayed the same. However, other dark or spooky genres and bands have cropped up throughout those decades which commonly get called "goth". This is false as goth only specifically refers to bands within that genre, not any band that uses a "dark" image or "spooky" lyrical themes.

Bands like Marilyn Manson and EBM bands like God Module are commonly mistaken for "Goth" when they're part of different genres.

The sound for all three of these groups are completely different, therefore could not be considered to be part of the same genre.

It is common for a goth to listen to goth rock, darkwave, deathrock and post punk but they can enjoy genres like metal (symphonic and Gothic in particular), industrial, EBM and synth pop too, just as long as they realise that the latter list are not goth genres.

tampon rock

A term coined in the late 1980's to refer to the (ahem) "sudden wave" of female folk musicians, including: Tracy Chapman, Michelle Shocked, Suzanne Vega, Toni Childs, Melissa Etheridge, The Indigo Girls, 10,000 Maniacs and others. Tampon Rock chicks were the spiritual mothers of both the Riot Grrrls and the Lilith Fair fems in the 1990s. Nowadays, the term has been re-"cycled" to refer to any folk-rock chicks who remind us of that original wave (mostly just Tegan & Sara).

Listening to Tampon Rock brings back such great memories from college days.

jock rocking

to vocalize or sing in a corny, rhythmical manner, about the current task or objective one is performing. Kind of like how one would imagine a jock would sing.

For example, if you're cleaning you're bathroom, you'd sing something like, "Wiping down the siiiinnnnk!!! Scruuuubbiiiing the faaaauucet!!!!! Got to get it clean before my girrrlllrllllfriend gets hooooooome! Cuz i want to get laaaaaaid!!!!"

Example: He kept jock rocking while he was driving to the store. Talk about annoying, singing about every turn he took and every street, and even sang about the turn signal. i will not fuck him tonight because his incessant jock rocking.

Rock Shot

A copious rope of nut busted from a set of full, aching testicles.

He almost put my eye out last night with his rock shot.

His rock shot was all over my new Versace crest wool cardigan.

He blew his rock shot all over my breasts and we passed out. I woke up and tits looked like a family of snails had been crawling over me.
