1. A dance largely only associated with snap music. It consists of leaning to one side and snapping at the snap in the beat, then leaning to the other side and snapping on the beat. This dance is very infectious due to its simplicity and the fact that when a lot of people are doing it in unision it looks hot. Its also widely popular because it can be done to a multitude of different types of music, and the fact that it can be ad-libbed and still look hot.
2. A song by dem franchize boyz trying to capitalize on the popular dance. The group is hoping to monopolize an already existing phrase and claim it as theirs, similar to what Cash Money did with bling bling and stunna.
1. Thug 1: I really like that song "Laffy Taffy" cause its the only song that I actually know the dance to, I don't have to post up on the wall.
Thug 2: Yeah I know whats that dance called again?
Thug 1: Lean with it, rock with it
2. Yo, you know that new dance that dem franchize boyz made up? What, c'mon it has to be theirs they made a song by that name.

Geek Rock (also known as nerd rock, but distinguishable from the hip hop genre Nerdcore) is a musical subgenre of alternative rock, although unlike many genres, the term is somewhat loosely applied as far as the style of music performed is concerned. Rather, the phrase is more often used to describe the artists and performers, whose personalities and/or looks would usually see them described as "geeks" or "nerds".
However, there are certain common musical traits that many geek rock artists share, although a good number of the bands described as such may display a sound far removed from the considered standard. Such elements include heavy use of synthesisers and electronic keyboards, harmonic vocals (and, sometimes, extensive use of female-led backing vocals) and idiosyncratic use of instruments not usually associated with alt-rock, such as accordions. Some mainstream bands that exemplify the geek rock "sound" include DEVO, Weezer, They Might Be Giants, Fountains of Wayne, The Aquabats!, and Barenaked Ladies.
In addition, a number of lyrical themes are quite common to the genre - these include themes of isolation, loneliness and failing love lives, and a fascination with "geek" pop culture such as video games, comic books, science fiction and fantasy. In addition, significant doses of irony and humour can be found in many geek rock lyrics. The average age of a geek rock band, meanwhile, is demonstrated by the recurring preoccupation with pop culture of the 1980s. Bands like Ozma, The Minibosses, Nerf Herder, The Franchise and hellogoodbye are indicative of this trend.
Bands that are considered in the geek rock genre have been almost exclusively American or Canadian, but there have been a few bands from other countries as well. One noteworthy band is Wir Sind Helden (We are heroes) from Germany. Wir Sind Helden earned their title as "German Geek Rock" with their music videos for "Guten Tag" and "Nur ein Wort," both of which deal with geek pop culture, dictionaries, and comic books. The song "The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth" from their third album makes this inclination explicit.
It is worth pointing out that the term "geek rock" as we know it is a relatively recent development, but it has been retrospectively applied in a number of cases. The early progenitors of the genre are generally considered to be certain experimental and intellectual proponents of new wave music from the late 1970s and early 1980s, most notably Oingo Boingo, Devo, XTC and Talking Heads. While these bands all carry undoubted musical influence down to the current geek rock bands, however, it is the somewhat nerdish demeanor of their (in all cases bespectacled) front men that is also seen to qualify them. Indeed, the tendency to label as "geek rock" music that is performed by geeks (as opposed to music that simply sounds "geeky") has led to figures as far back as Buddy Holly being described as geek rock "icons".citation needed In addition, artists including Pixies, Ween, Grandaddy, The Decemberists, OK Go, Nada Surf, Beck, Moxy Früvous, and The Young Knives have found themselves labeled as "geek rock" on occasion.

Garage rock is a subgenre of rock'n'roll that dates back to the late 1950's when amateur bands exploded across the United States. The name comes from the assumption that bands practiced in suburban garages and were often very crude, but this belies the fact that they were diverse in their approaches, ranging from basic one or two chord wonders to very professional acts that even had regional hits. Some bands, like The Monks and The Velvet Underground, were even very experimental in their approach. For example, the Velvet Underground were as much influenced by avant-garde composers like LaMonte Young and Ornette Coleman as they were Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Link Wray and Bob Dylan. While the Monks were less influenced by the Avant Garde, their approach was unusual by using a banjo as a replacement for a lead guitar that gave a wiry sound, lyrics that bordered on surreal minimalistic rants, no use of cymbals and drumming that owed as much to polkas and military marches as they did rock'n'roll.
The most famous characteristics of garage rock are the Fuzztone guitar sound (as used on "The Witch" by The Sonics), Farfisa organ stabs and raw production qualities at odds with the polished production of both major record labels and acts like The Beatles. The Sonics often adopted the production techniques and methods of Link Wray, such as putting a hole in the loudspeaker of their amplifiers to get distortion commonplace in many of the more raunchy R&B based bands. The rough production of garage rock was very influential on many early punk bands, who played and recorded songs in as crude a manner out of necessity.
By The early 1970's, The New York Dolls and The Stooges were part of a new wave of bands influenced by and continuing the crude, raunchy, primitive sound of garage rock at odds with the progressive rock that dominated the music industry at that time. By this time, it was being called "punk" (a term coined by Lester Bangs in Creem Magazine, the first band to call their music thus were Suicide). This lead to a garage rock revival in the late 1970's, which continues to this day.
While this is superficial, it is only intended as a potted guide.

Pushing Too Hard- The Seeds
You're Gonna Miss Me- Thirteenth Floor Elevators
Psychotic Reaction- Count Five
Black Monk Time- The Monks
