trash gnome

The trash gnome is the selected person, out of a group that sits together for lunch, that throws everyone's trash away. Currently an in-joke between a few people... you know who you are.

The position of Trash Gnome should be considered as a trade-off; you have the Holy Privelege of eating lunch with us (although we hate you!) provided that you throw out all our trash.

Also known as Trash Fairy, Trash Elf, Trash Nazi.
Me: Shivam, YOU'RE the trash gnome! <a strong-handed push of the large trash can commonly found in our school>

Him: No, I don't want to be the trash gnome <push of trash can back to me> - now give me a dollar or you get ketchup all over yourself.

emo metal

A newfangled genre of pop music that combines two unrelated elements: the lyrical content of emo (sob, sob, sob, SOB) and the loud guitars of today's metal.

The singers in Emo Metal bands tend to - for some reason only few can decipher - scream as much of the lyrics as humanly possible.

See also: screamo
When I tuned into Fuse last night, they played a series of pop-punk and emo metal music videos.

Architecture In Helsinki

An extremely annoying indie pop collective. Their instrumentation may be unique, but their music is so sugary that one can do nothing but cringe, as if their teeth are rotting under their lips, while listeining to it.
Me: What are you listening to, Alex?
Alex: Oh, I've got Architecture in Helsinki on my iPod. Have you heard of them?
Me: Yeah, they annoy the living hell out of me. You should listen to some real music. How about some Tapes 'n' Tapes? Some Wire? Some Sebadoh? Those are all far better choices.

love

An overrated, possibly nonexistent, feeling. Associated with losing all logic and sanity.
Julius must love that girl, because he's acting all rude and offensive on me, as if I'm going to take her away.

Individual

1. An "individual" is generally considered one who follows only his(her) own rules of life.

2. Also, in general, anything that is different from the rest of the world in any way.
1. Jon is the true individual. He says so many times until it becomes a catchphrase, "I don't care what the 'others' think about my actions" - and his actions (often crude and immature) support that phrase.

2. My DNA is probably truly individual.

Bananna

Proof that American Civilization's weakness is that it can't spell to save its life.
It's banana, goddamnit!

NOT bananna!

Indie snob

Someone who thinks a band is automatically "bad" or "uncool" as soon as they recieve the tiniest bit of success. They will ignore that "successful" band and then rush to Pitchfork or some other snobby music site to find some obscure band to replace them.
Indie snobs think that Modest Mouse became uncool when "The Moon and Antarctica" was released; when "Float On" became a hit, indie snobs had ignored the band for quite a few years.

However, you aren't an indie snob if you hate Death Cab for Cutie for showing up on the OC. All you have is common sense.
