Shosty

How illegitimate classical musicians will refer to Shostakovich to make it sound 'hip' in popular vernacular.

Emily: Omg, have you heard shosty 5? That shit slaps!

Becky: Omg yes I bop to that!

(of course neither of them have ever listened to it in its entirety because it isn't popular music, and they just learned about it in there music history class that they only passed from blowing the teacher.)
