Cliiiineyeyeoneo

Cliiiineyeyeoneo was a popular music genre during the Golden Millennium. Note that the name of the genre is never pronounced, as it is a rough transliteration of a very short guitar riff once played by an unknown band in a dive bar on Barbiturose. The genre is referred to either by text, or by simply playing the sound clip. When bereft of either to communicate with, vigorously miming the act of playing a guitar was typically relied upon to get the idea across.

The genre originates from the same performance that gives it its name. Although the exact characteristics of the genre remain in debate even this long after its heyday, it is generally agreed that a good cliiiineyeyeoneo performance involves at least one of each of the following:


 * An electric guitar
 * A standard drum set
 * A sitar, or oud as the band prefers
 * A Think Tank calculating pi to the most exact degree it can, loudly
 * An oboe, glockenspiel, theremin, or set of bagpipes (a band may have as many of any combination of these as they desire)
 * A bass (This is unanimously stated to be the most vital part)

Chaos and hedonism are central themes of the genre, which earned cliiiineyeyeoneo considerable ire during its time in the spotlight. A performance was famously the cause of the Razor Lotus Rebellion, a pattern repeated with a number of other slave and colonial revolts.

Much time and effort has been spent by historians to discover the band that originated the genre, but to no avail. The bar itself kept no records of performances, and the patrons (perhaps unsurprisingly given this was, after all, on Barbiturose) claimed to have had such a wild night they remembered nothing except that the band sounded good. The audio recording of the performance is from a video recording, however the recording patron had their thumb over the camera rendering the band unidentifiable.
