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?

    Yes as long as it has a solid beat and sonic intensity. Look at it this way, not every fast song is a banger. Being a banger doesn’t necessarily have to do with beats per minute.

      Gen Z has redefined “banger”. I’m not old man’n here. It’s okay. Every generation does it.

      We used to use “that’s banging“ quite a bit in the 90s and my understanding was the musically it was mostly used as “head banging” for heavy music. Again, don’t care how people want to define it today. I’ve still mostly seen it referenced to music that hits you a bit harder than most, but whatever.
