Octave Chord

5 views · Added 2mo ago · 2 definitions

A chord that’s like a power chord, but it’s missing the middle note like it’s the weakest link. It’s basically the musical equivalent of a one-legged man in a ass-kicking contest. Played high and loud on the A and G strings, it’s the reason your ears are screaming after a Leftover Crack song.

It’s like a power chord but it’s missing a string, like it got fired. It gives more sound than a power chord, and it's what makes Fall Out Boy sound like they're trying too hard. It’s the reason you’re crying after a My Chemical Romance song.
