A corporate hippie is a person who embraces the "hippie" attitude (peace, love, understanding, diversity, non-violence, the greater good, environmental awareness, etc.) but is fully integrated into the corporate world. Corporate hippies seek to prove that social awareness and the private sector can coexist.

A company that is predatory by nature. An entity who exploits the workers for large profits and cheats the consumer around every corner, all the while putting massive amounts of money into sales and marketing to create a recognizable brand.
Also a large company who obliterates smaller businesses who cannot compete with the mass marketing. Also written in a song by Grace Jones.
Walmart is notorious for putting the Mom and Pop shops out of business because they cannot compete with the high volume revenues. I would say Walmart is a Corporate cannibal, eating up smaller neighborhood businesses.

A "corporate fag" is a former politician or political staffer -- state or federal -- who leaves high office (elected or hired) to join a private interest group seeking financial gain that undermines the public interest. He or she does this in order to enrich him/herself by influencing current elected officials, often against the public interests they once claimed to serve. A "corporate fag" is especially adept at channeling money to current elected officials in order to buy influence.
Big "corporate fag," Richard Armey, who along with Newt Gingrich, wrote the Contract With America, then broke his "term limits contract" (a major part of the Contract With America) to become House Majority Leader. Armey now lobbies for the DLA Piper law firm, which took $6 million in lobbying fees over the five years Armey has worked there from the international pharmaceutical giant, Medicines Company.

Corporate Metalhead (CMH) is a honorary designation awarded by a Metalhead to an exceptional well-mannered Corporate or public figure who shares Metalhead values and fights the unwarranted negative stereotypes commonly associated with Metalhead culture. Beneath the professional and conservative appearance is a true Metalhead personality, faithfully following the progression of today's Metal and loyal to those of yesterday.
Corporate Metalheads are a sub-culture of Metalheads typically possessing a mix of liberal and conservative tendencies. CMH's are rarely found on the frontlines of Metalhead culture. They are living the American Dream, financially responsible, family-oriented and enjoy a variety of music - but their true passion is that of Metal.
CMH's are aware that Metalheads fall victim to a culturally ignorant society and to maintain their good impression will admit their passion for Metal when an inquiry is made, or following a conservative first impression. CMHβs are by no means embarrassed by their Metalhead counterparts; it is in fact a strategy employed to fight stereotypes. Another reason why a CMH will disclose their love for Metal is if they are provoked. See Example 1
A CMH is often part of a Metalhead circle - you can easily spot one at a party by looking for a neat, almost fussy looking individual, nodding their head to All That Remains and singing the words only a true Metalhead would know!
Example 1
As any Metalhead knows and has experienced, there is always that ONE person that just has to go there and say something stupid like, "I think my son worships the Devil. He's obsessed with this awful kind of evil music! How could anyone like a song where all they do is scream and you can't understand a word they're saying!"
A true Corporate Metalhead will spring to action and will explain in the most professional manner that Metal is commonly misunderstood, and if one would take the time to study the music (as most Metalheads take pride in doing) - you will find the lyrics aren't that dark, often have implied meaning and the music is quite complex! To a CMH, it just sounds like the kid has an affinity for Metal and may recommend the parent consider getting the kid some guitar / drum / vocal lessons so both parties benefit.
If you're a professional like me, who just loves the opportunity to talk about Metal try putting this on your personal business card:
Jonathan Smith, CMH
That will get them asking!
