high quality rip
Where it comes from
Coined by SiIvaGunner in 2016 (then known as "GiIvaSunner"), a YouTube channel which produces mashed up video game music, in reference to the video game music rips they were inauthentically presented as. It emerged from a repeated tongue-in-cheek response to commenters who pointed out that the music was edited or otherwise dislikeable, typically in the form of "I only upload high quality video game rips". The word is primarily associated with the channel, but can refer to such music produced by others.
noun high quality rips
- A musical composition, which is presented as unaltered music taken from a video game or occasionally other media, but is instead a mashup of the advertised music with another composition in a humorous or unexpected way. High-Quality Rip: It started as a joke that you play an original song from a game but suddenly the melody turns to something else.
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see high-quality, rip.
