Those of you who follow me on Twitter may know that recently, your one and only Rosalie Bass has invented a new genre of music called Alpuntal. To put it simply is the words alternative, punk, and metal combined respectively, and is aimed to be used as a way to describe playlists and musical interests.
Pretend that you are walking down the streets in the Upper East Side of New York, on your way to Starbuck’s to grab a Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino Blended Coffee before you start your glorious socialite day. While you’re strutting down the street in your obsessively fashionable, highly expensive clothes you happen to be listening to a playlist of Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, My Chemical Romance and Marilyn Manson, all falling under the categories of alternative, metal, and punk. Suddenly, your friend Anna Mai spots you as you turn the corner, and pulls you aside to tell you the latest dirt on your mutual enemy, Rita Sparks. It doesn’t occur to her until after she had babbled on for ten minutes straight that you have been listening to your ipod the whole time.
Looking at you questioningly, Anna Mai inquires, “What are you listening to?”
With a playlist covering so many genres, your answer would be quite descriptive. “Oh, just a little alternative,” You would say. “There’s some metal and punk in there as well.”
“I see,” Anna Mai replies. “What type of bands?”
“You know, Linkin Park… My Chemical Romance… Three Days Grace… Marilyn Manson. Et cetra.”
Now, if you were to substitute alternative, metal, and punk for Alpuntal, your answer would be much less shorter and time consuming. “Alpuntal,” You would say instead. “Specifically, some Manson, MCR, Three Days Grace, and Linkin Park.” With that answer Anna Mai’s response wouldn’t be necessary, as well as your reply to her second question, saving you at least a minute or so time wise, and at least ten or so people that would have lined up at Starbuck’s if you went with the first conversation. So much time saved!
I feel that this new word could not only save time, but money also (Time is money!), and perhaps even lives. So, my fellow readers, you can either be with me on this new musical genre and start using it in everyday life*, or you can stand against me and be a conformist, time wasting murderer. It is up to you.
Have a wonderful day!

*Also, by using this new word you are showing how nonconformist and creative you are, which not only attracts attention from the opposite sex but greatly improve your social life if the word catches on, as you would be the person that started the fad.
