A riff is a cluster or sequence of notes or chords. A riff is used in a song. It can be repeated over and over again, but it may only be heard once, say for instance, in a lead guitar solo. Riffs can be minor decorative elements or they can be the basis of a song. Riffs are sometimes very memorable - they can be the most immediately recognizable thing about a song. Guitar riffs are obviously very nifty, on the other hand, guitar rifts do not exists. A rift is literally a division, split or break. Broken guitars are very hard to play and they don't sound so good.
Classic guitar riffs include the opening chord sequence in I Can't Get No Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, or Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers.

Unworthy plebeians who lack the elegance and civility to mingle in high society.
Refined gentlemen sit above the juvenile tomfoolery of the riff-raff.

To be subject of an utterly dominated conversation by a highly intelligent and articulate person, who goes on a spiel on a deep topic ie: history.
She got riff-raffed at lunch today on American history.
A band or artist that steals one or more of a certain riff or tune from another artist's song and puts it into one of their own.
Dude, Crazy Town totally riff robbed Red Hot Chili Peppers of their original song Pretty Little Ditty and put it into their own song, Butterfly. Their fuckin' Riff Robbers!
That one rhythm in a lot of media or video games that plays when there is some relation to someone or something that is either japanese or chinese. It will usually play when you are in a video game level where you are fighting an asian character, or it will play when cartoon characters are visiting China. Also, it was used in the song ''Kung Fu Fighting''. And I finally found it after 7 years. It's usually like: ''dun dun dun dun dun dun dun doo''
Me: *Plays fighting game*
My friend: Hey, what's the name of the song that just played?
Me: It's called the ''Oriental Riff''
My friend: Thanks!
Complex rock or metal music with no sense of style, direction or emotional expressivity.
The entire 'genre' of technical death metal (except early Decapitated) is autistic riff salad.
