My understanding of the word banger is it’s reserved for good songs. There are many good slow songs as well, but the word banger seems to imply something more intense and bombastic. So, is it appropriate to describe slow songs as a banger?

    banger was a shortened term for headbanger. like a person who would nod extremely vigorously, usually with long dramatic hair to a thumping beat, usually hard rock or punk music… then the word started referring to the songs themselves. but language is liquid and words evolve. some people like the word jam for slow songs that make them move.
