moby

An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question.The term is derived from the name of the liberal musician Moby, who famously suggested in February of 2004 that left-wing activists engage in this type of subterfuge: “For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion. Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, ‘What’s all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?’”The strategy has been frequently attempted on conservative blogs, but has not been nearly as effective as Moby envisioned, since false rumors are easily debunked by fact-checking minions, and cartoonishly extreme commenters often get immediately identified as mobys and banned.

Any young, white, urban or suburban male with a shaved head, obsession with electronic music, permanently affixed earbuds and a hatred of George W. Bush specifically or conservatives in general. In other words, a hipster that is a virtual clone of the musician Moby. The polar opposite of a South Park Republican.
Example:
Hipster Working in Apple Store: "We wouldn't have had this huge oil spill if it weren't for Bush and his Big Oil cronies."

You: "I don't recall asking your opinion, Moby. Now shut your fucking yapper and replace my IPod, bitch."

The talented musician who is original, creates his own music, is the best with synthesizers, DJ's, vocals, and plays a wide variety of instruments such as the keyboard/piano, acoustic and electric guitar, drums/bongos.

He is also a bit weird. I have his 18 B-Sides DVD and he acts a little strange but who cares...his music is incredible.
Example:
Moby has made the first electronic blues album.

Moby is a talented musician who helped make electronica what it is today.

Neverthelesss, other artists/groups such as Orbital, Underworld, Kraftwerk, the Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, DJ Shadow/U.N.K.L.E. ,Aphex Twin ,Crystal Method, heck even Fatboy Slim and i'm sure i'm forgetting more groups etc. have had more impact on electronica music overall, than Moby has.

Moby's music definitely soared in popularity with he album Play. The album Play however, was just freeriding off the popularity of other albums that came out earlier such as: Chemical Brothers' Dig You Own Hole and Prodigy's Fat of the Land, and Daft Punk' Homework. It was these earlier albums that had the tough job of cracking the North American market for electronica, so they set it up for an American act such as Moby to be more successful.

But if you have been listening to electronica/rave/techno before it exploded in 1997 you would've have recognized the pioneering albums such as Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation and Experience , Chemical Brother's Exit Planet Dust, Orbital's self titled Orbital and Orbital2, Kraftwerk's Computer World etc.

That is not to say Moby wasn't making music before electronica was big in North America. It's just that he didn't make a big impact then. Most people just knew the single 'Go'.

For some reason, to me it seems that people in America credit Moby mostly because he's American and he's got some opinion about everything. He's more in the public eye. Or perhaps, maybe they give him patronage because Eminem picks on him and we feel sorry for him.
Whatever the reason, the above mentioned artists (are more influential musically and internationally.)
Example:
Still, I like that New York egghead's music. My fave song of his is 'God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters'.

1. A tiny bald musician that makes music most people don't really understand. He is also famous for his online blog and his hatred of George W. Bush. He is also a vegan and owns his own vegan restraunt, Teany.

2. To shave it all off.. down there. "The Moby."
Example:
1. Moby is a crazy liberal living the NYC dream.

2. Where did all the hair go?

An artist that has chosen - strangely enough - not to limit himself to only one sound or musical genre. Seems a bit out of place in the dog eat dog music industry, due to his apparent quirkiness and modesty.
Example:
On a side note, his Scottish accent is pretty awesome.

A guy, usually ugly, who is with a chick that is way too hot for him to even associate with.
Example:
After spotting an attractive female and seeing the tool she was with, one would say, "That guy is a freaking moby."

origin: Moby singing with Gwen Stefani
