Flip Music

From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki

"Why do we have to listen to this old stuff Sarge?"

—Manuel Mendoza

"Watch your mouth son, this "stuff" is your history."

—Avery Johnson

"Hey, if the Covenant want to wipe out this particular part of my history, that's fine by me."

—Manuel Mendoza

Flip Music is a type of music trend created and performed by humans.

[edit] Background

The colonial "slam-bam" beat^[1] of flip music is, in fact, a descendant of 21st-century heavy metal.^[2] Sergeant Johnson has an odd fascination with the genre.^[3][4] Those around him, however, are less interested in this genre of music. There are many who dislike flip music, including Captain Jacob Keyes, John-117,^[2] Corporal Locklear,^[2] Private First Class Wallace Jenkins, Privates Riley, Mendoza, Bisenti and others.

[edit] Trivia

• Sergeant Johnson and an unknown number of ODSTs seem to be the only ones who enjoy this genre.
• The flip music in the "Jenkins helmet cam" cinematic is a song from Marathon: Durandal.
