skemo
1. skemo (noun) A hybrid of two relatively popular and now common genres of music; late 1990s ska (or reggae-rock) and the offspring of punk rock and vintage that is emo. Ska music, made widely renowned by bands like Bad Brains and Made In Mexico, associates then-popular Jamaican reggae with typical 1980s-1990s grunge rock, rose to popularity by the early 1990s. Emo music, originally derived from punk and indie music, reinforced with emotions and heavy, well-written, poetic lyrics, was introduced in the late 1990s by bands like Fugazi and The Get-Up Kids, later replaced by today's underground to mainstream emo music like Taking Back Sunday and Saosin. Skemo music isn't exactly rising yet, but what's expected is fast, fun, and typically bouncy reggae beats mixed with schorching, distorted guitars, nonsensical yet emotional lyrics, screaming, and essentially with fast-paced, heavy bass, reminiscent of early rebellious punk tracks. Bands like 311 have adopted skemo-sounding music early on, and even Bad Brains sound heavily skemo at some points. 2. skemo (noun) 2 A rising look, widely popular by the early 2000s, "skemo kids", typically ranging in teenagers to men and women in their mid-twenties, resemble typical mall emos at first glance, with typical "emo kid" attire, such as: Tight, band/slogan/vintage t-shirts Tight skinny jeans, drainpipes, tight slacks, "girl pants", or any tight pants Tattered Cons/Dickies/DCs/Vans/Dravens Messenger bags Piercings (ideally lebret/lip or plugs on ears) But skemos show their appreciation for ska by having dreadlocks, anything with red, yellow, and green together (armbands, bags, belts, etc.), reggae veterans/American-Indian heroes (Bob Marley, Sitting Bull, etc.) imagery on attire or tattoos, anything reminiscent of African culture (wooden beads, necklaces, bracelets, etc.). 3. skemo (adjective) Skemo/ska/emo-sounding music. 4. skemo (adjective) 2 Used to describe one who possesses an appearance resembling the second main definition of skemo. OR Used to describe one with typical emotive qualities such as being depressed or having mood swings, but is usually happy due to drug overuse like reggae people stereotypically do.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
My friend saw the message on the cup ordered at a mutual friends house. We think it’s hilarious so had to put it on a coffee cup. Funny, great Christmas present. If she can’t use in public she can always use at home for pens and pencils on her desk!
Bought the "Bump Down" mug for my boyfriend, he thought it was the greatest and couldn't believe I'd actually found something with the phrase on it!
Great mug but i can't manage to get it out of my asshole again
First heard the term “Cheddar Headed” from the song Feel Good by the Gorillaz. Had to look it up and found the definition hilarious and at times very true! So......had to have it! Took it to work and it definitely made an impression. Hahaha!
This was purchased as a gift , and it describes the recipient perfectly . It arrived sooner than expected, and I am very impressed with the quality .
The mug I ordered was exactly as described on the site. The shipping was fast as well. I will buy from these people again.
Cute mug, arrived promptly in great condition. I like how you can choose background color & change wording. Will feel cheerful when drinking my coffee in this :)
Heavenly Mug This mug has been sent from the heavens. I'm too broke to buy it. But one day... I will. I will be mugged, dammit!
Why am I here? I don't know how I got here, but I can't stop writing weird things on the cup...😅 Help me. I have a test to study for. A family. Also, if I wasn't broke I would buy 10,000 of these mugs. They look highly entertaining. Love this website, and I probably will fail the test. 🙃
I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
Item came on time as promised
Came within a week and it's exactly what I ordered, my friend will love it!
Sus cup I bought the sus mug for the sus king Daequan
Good quality, packaging shipped well, arrived quickly.
My mug came in broken but Urban Dictionary replaced it at no extra charge!
Excellent mug excellent service
this is the best for coffee and hot coco especially if you make the hot coco in it then pour it on your significant other and do body shots 😋🥱
I can pass away peacefully. This mug is everything I’ve ever needed and more. Fat thank you, Urban Dictionary. <3
I was really excited to receive this mug and when it did come it was perfect quality. My only complaint is that the color I choose was green teal but it came in yellow.
As always, easy to order and not-too-long of a wait for the finished product to arrive. It’s well-printed, and very sturdy. A great gag present for wedding party members.
