Top 10 Names of Particular Music Sounds

While making this list I was thinking of the game played on the Funniest American Videos "Name that sound".

There are 4 types of sound names on this list:
1) established and widely used sound names (wah, djent)
2) names that were coined by established musicians but probably the names aren't widely known (bdLOOP, coined by Marty Friedman of Megadeth)
3) names that were coined by lesser known musicians or even YouTubers
4) names informally used on music forums (bwoww - describes the fretless bass sound)
5) sound names created by you (why not if you have a good idea)

The Top Ten

1 Wah (Wah pedal sound)

Wah pedal for electric guitar makes a note sound like "wah".
Wah pedal sound is so distinctive that the word "wah" became the name of the pedal.
Metallica's Kirk Hammett is a frequent user of this pedal (listen to Enter Sandman - wah, wah, wah,...)

2 Djent (Djent guitar sound)

3 Pig Squeals (deathcore vocals sound)

4 Skank beat (the sound of the typical, old school, thrash metal drum beat)

Aka polka beat (it is also widely used in punk; Dave Lombardo of Slayer used this beat very often).
Drummers often use these two names (skank/polka beat).

5 bdLOOP (Sweep picking sound as described by guitarist Marty Friedman)

6 'Boot Camp, Booty Camp' drum beat (the sound of one of the typical power metal drum beats)

I first heard the name of this sound in Steve Terreberry's Video "How to Be Power Metal! "
He also demonstrated it - yup, it really sounds as if you say "Boot Camp, Booty Camp".

7 Bwoww (Fretless bass sound)

8 Dunnn (Doom metal sound)

9 Police Siren (the sound of a whammy bar trick)

Demonstarated by Steve Terreberry in his YouTube video "Whammy Bar Tricks! "

10 Muwahh ("Crying" fretless bass)
