A talentless, cookie-cutter product of the music industry that has changed form over the years, but right now in 2004 generally consists of:
1) A Jamaican-sounding guy singing in broken English and making little if any sense
2) Any girl with a half-decent voice, usually singing about dancing in the club or something equally overused and pointless
Apparently some people in America actually like this kind of music and have the impressive self-restraint to avoid changing the station when such a group is on the radio. I have yet to meet such a person, but I'd guess that middle schools all over the country are full of them.
See Sean Paul featuring whoever, Black-Eyed Peas, Shaggy featuring whoever, or any of the 200 other no-name spinoffs.
Typical song:
Jamaican guy:
"Shake yo booty mama
Shake shake yo booty
I like to see you shake it
Shake yo booty shake it"
Girl:
"I'm in the club dancing on a Friday night
I'm hangin with my peeps and I feel all right"
And so on...
The above song would probably crack the top 10 on the pop charts if I were to expand the lyrics and produce it. Sad, isn't it?

Stupid music that's played on video games.
It's usually just 3 freaking notes played over and over again, it never has any words or lyrics.
Kylie Minouge's new CD "Fever" sounds just like freaking Nintendo Music!

Music, especially rock, when the singer(s) screams and sings repeatedly through out numerous songs.
Silverstein, Bullet For My Valentine, It Dies Today and Alexisonfire, if it doesn't sound like them, your not listening to emo music!

If you are a female manipulator you probably listen to Lana del rey, Mitski, Mazzy Star, Melanie Martinez, MARINA, Hole ect.
Or you indulge yourself in vintage male manipulator bands like The Smiths or Radiohead to manipulate the male manipulators if you get what Iβm saying.
Sienna : βhey maddie what are you listening to?β
Maddie : β oh Iβm just listening to some Lana del Rey and Holeβ
Sienna : βomg YAS pussy cunt slay thatβs so girlboss female manipulator musicβ

A music label masterminded by Patrice Wilson, who (rather cleverly) preys on the young aspiring pop star's desire to be recognized. Many of the people featured in these music videos are girls, presumably in Middle School, with a noticeably wealthy family; their equally wealthy friends usually co-star. This, accompanied by the outright stupidity of the song (i.e. I Love Chinese Food), makes Ark Music Factory especially susceptible to hatred. Sense the release of Rebecca Black's classic "Friday" AMF's business, quite curiously, has boomed rather than stagnated. Because of this apparent boom, we can expect to see more, increasingly cheesy music titles that commentators ages 12-16 flock to hate.
"The whole song is fucking terrible. No fucking kidding. This is just 10000000000X worse than Friday. FUCKING AWFUL "
-Someone's reaction after watching one of Ark Music Factory's more recent titles.

The kick ass conservatory at the not so kick ass University of Hartford started by Julius Hartt and some dude from Russia who's last name was Paranov. Also contains the Jackie Mclean Institute of Jazz, started by Jackie Mclean and to this day providing pretentious Berklee snobs an institution to fear/hate on/do graduate work at. Students learn from some of the best teachers in the industry including Nat Reeves, Eric Mcpherson, Rene Mclean, Steve Davis and Jimmy Green. Students also learn valuable skills, such as how to avoid being mugged by crack dealers around the schools entrances and what times of the night to not walk alone outside of campus grounds.
"I go to the HARTT SCHOOL OF MUSIC, not the University of Hartford!"
"Man, those kids from the HARTTbeat {commonly used slang nickname for the school} were killin!"
