query: Leukemia is a group of cancers beginning in bone marrow and producing abnormal white blood cells.

pos: Leukemia Leukemia , also spelled leukaemia , is a group of cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells . These white blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells . Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising problems , feeling tired , fever , and an increased risk of infections . These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells . Diagnosis is typically made by blood tests or bone marrow biopsy .   The exact cause of leukemia is unknown . Different kinds of leukemia are believed to have different causes . Both inherited and environmental ( non-inherited ) factors are believed to be involved . Risk factors include smoking , ionizing radiation , some chemicals ( such as benzene ) , prior chemotherapy , and Down syndrome . People with a family history of leukemia are also at higher risk . There are four main types of leukemia -- acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( ALL ) , acute myeloid leukemia ( AML ) , chronic lymphocytic leukemia ( CLL ) and chronic myeloid leukemia ( CML ) -- as well as a number of less common types . Leukemias and lymphomas both belong to a broader group of tumors that affect the blood , bone marrow , and lymphoid system , known as tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues .   Treatment may involve some combination of chemotherapy , radiation therapy , targeted therapy , and bone marrow transplant , in addition to supportive care and palliative care as needed . Certain types of leukemia may be managed with watchful waiting . The success of treatment depends on the type of leukemia and the age of the person . Outcomes have improved in the developed world . The average five-year survival rate is 57 % in the United States . In children under 15 , the five-year survival rate is greater than 60 to 85 % , depending on the type of leukemia . In children with acute leukemia who are cancer-free after five years , the cancer is unlikely to return .   In 2015 , leukemia was present in 2.3 million people and caused 353,500 deaths . In 2012 it newly developed in 352,000 people . It is the most common type of cancer in children , with three quarters of leukemia cases in children being the acute lymphoblastic type . However , about 90 % of all leukemias are diagnosed in adults , with AML and CLL being most common in adults . It occurs more commonly in the developed world .

neg: Albinism Albinism in humans is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin , hair and eyes . Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects , such as photophobia , nystagmus , and amblyopia . Lack of skin pigmentation makes for more susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancers . In rare cases such as Chédiak -- Higashi syndrome , albinism may be associated with deficiencies in the transportation of melanin granules . This also affects essential granules present in immune cells leading to increased susceptibility to infection .   Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates , including humans . It is due to absence or defect of tyrosinase , a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin . It is the opposite of melanism . Unlike humans , other animals have multiple pigments and for these , albinism is considered to be a hereditary condition characterised by the absence of melanin in particular , in the eyes , skin , hair , scales , feathers or cuticle . While an organism with complete absence of melanin is called an albino an organism with only a diminished amount of melanin is described as leucistic or albinoid . The term is from the Latin albus , `` white '' .

neg: Leukocytoclastic Leukocytoclastic means `` tending to destroy white blood cells '' , which is exemplified by :  Hypersensitivity vasculitis ( also called leukocytoclastic vasculitis )  Cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis ( also called cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis )

neg: Hypereosinophilia Hypereosinophilia or hypereosinophilic syndrome is a disease characterised by a marked increase in the eosinophil count in the bloodstream .   The eosinophil count in human blood is normally 0.4 × 109/L ( 0.1 - 0.6 ) and results from a balance between production of eosinophils and emigration through post-capillary venules ( Yamaguchi et al. 1991 ) . Eosinophils are only a small minority of peripheral blood leucocytes and in normal subjects , most are found in the tissues of the lung and gastro-intestinal tract ( Beeken et al. 1987 ) . Blood eosinophil counts are arbitrarily classified as mild - between 0.6 to 1.5 × 109/L ; moderate between 1.5 to 5 × 109/L and severe when greater than 5 × 109/L .   An elevated blood eosinophil count may be associated with a number of reactive conditions and with clonal disorders of the bone marrow . However , when the blood eosinophil count is persistently greater than 1.5 × 109 / L , for a period of more than six months , damage to end organs such as the heart , lungs , skin , joints and nervous system can be demonstrated , and in the absence of any clonal or reactive cause , the term idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome ( HES ) is used . The three defining criteria of HES are therefore :  Eosinophil count persistently greater than 1.5 × 109/L  Damage to end-organs  No ascertainable cause for the eosinophilia and no evidence of clonality .   There are four categories of blood eosinophilia :  Reactive ( non-clonal ) eosinophilia : infections , parasitic infestations , asthma and allergies , respiratory diseases , cytokine infusions , vasculitides , non-haematological malignant diseases , drug reactions and connective tissue diseases , Hodgkin 's and non-Hodgkin 's lymphomas are included here as the eosinophils have not been shown to be clonal .  Clonal Disorders of the Bone Marrow associated with eosinophilia : Acute and chronic eosinophilic leukaemia , chronic myeloid leukaemia , polycythaemia vera , essential thrombocythaemia , acute myelogenous leukaemia , Chromosome 16 variants , and T lymphoblastic lymphoma with eosinophilia , acute lymphoblastic leukaemia , myelodysplastic disorders ( MDS ) with eosinophilia , systemic mastocytosis and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia ( Bain 1996 ) .  Clonal eosinophilia : acquired mutations in genes regulating , in part , eosinophil growth , proliferation , differentiation , and survival , and therefor associated with malignant expansion of blood , bone marrow , and tissue eosinophils in various forms of eosinophilia associated with diverse hematological malignancies including the 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome .  HES : After exclusion of the above two categories , cases of persistent , unexplained eosinophilia fall into the category of HES .

neg: Mucinosis Mucinoses are a group of cutaneous diseases caused by fibroblasts producing abnormally large amounts of acid mucopolysaccharides ( i.e. mucin ) , usually hyaluronic acid .

neg: Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin 's lymphoma ( NLPHL ) is a form of lymphoma .   Some people no longer classified it as a form of classic Hodgkin 's lymphoma ( HL ) . This is because the Reed-Sternberg Cell ( RSC ) variants ( popcorn cells ) that characterize this form of the disease invariably express B lymphocyte markers such as CD20 ( thus making NLPHL an unusual form of B cell lymphoma ) , and that ( unlike classic HL ) NLPHL may progress to diffuse large B cell lymphoma .   There are small but clear differences in prognosis between the various forms . Lymphocyte predominant HL is an uncommon subtype composed of vague nodules of numerous reactive lymphocytes admixed with large popcorn-shaped RSC . Unlike classic RSC , the non-classic popcorn-shaped RS cells of NLPHL are CD15 and CD30 negative while positive for the B cell marker CD20 . The anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody Rituximab has been used in lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin 's lymphoma with encouraging results .   BCL6 gene rearrangements have been frequently observed .

neg: Chemotherapy Chemotherapy ( often abbreviated to chemo and sometimes CTX or CTx ) is a category of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs ( chemotherapeutic agents ) as part of a standardized chemotherapy regimen . Chemotherapy may be given with a curative intent ( which almost always involves combinations of drugs ) , or it may aim to prolong life or to reduce symptoms ( palliative chemotherapy ) . Chemotherapy is one of the major categories of the medical discipline specifically devoted to pharmacotherapy for cancer , which is called medical oncology .   By common usage , the term chemotherapy has come to connote the use of rather non-specific intracellular poisons , especially related to inhibiting the process of cell division known as mitosis , and generally excludes agents that more selectively block extracellular growth signals ( i.e. blockers of signal transduction ) . To avoid these connotations for recently developed ( against specific molecular or genetic targets ) therapies which inhibit of growth-promoting signals coming from classic endocrine hormones ( primarily estrogens for breast cancer and androgens for prostate cancer ) is known as hormonal therapy , while the inhibition of other growth-promoting influences ( especially those associated with receptor tyrosine kinases ) is known as targeted therapy .   Importantly , the use of drugs ( whether chemotherapy , hormonal therapy or targeted therapy ) constitutes systemic therapy for cancer in that they are introduced into the blood stream and are therefore in principle able to address cancer at any anatomic location in the body . Systemic therapy is often used in conjunction with other modalities that constitute local therapy ( i.e. treatments whose efficacy is confined to the anatomic area where they are applied ) for cancer such as radiation therapy , surgery and/or hyperthermia therapy .   Traditional chemotherapeutic agents are cytotoxic by means of interfering with cell division ( mitosis ) but cancer cells vary widely in their susceptibility to these agents . To a large extent , chemotherapy can be thought of as a way to damage or stress cells , which may then lead to cell death if apoptosis is initiated . Many of the side effects of chemotherapy can be traced to damage to normal cells that divide rapidly and are thus sensitive to anti-mitotic drugs : cells in the bone marrow , digestive tract and hair follicles . This results in the most common side-effects of chemotherapy : myelosuppression ( decreased production of blood cells , hence also immunosuppression ) , mucositis ( inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract ) , and alopecia ( hair loss ) . Because of the effect on immune cells ( especially lymphocytes ) , chemotherapy drugs often find use in a host of diseases that result from harmful overactivity of the immune system against self ( so-called autoimmunity ) . These include rheumatoid arthritis , systemic lupus erythematosus , multiple sclerosis , vasculitis and many others .

neg: Chondrosarcoma Chondrosarcoma is a cancer composed of cells derived from transformed cells that produce cartilage . Chondrosarcoma is a member of a category of tumors of bone and soft tissue known as sarcomas . About 30 % of skeletal system cancers are chondrosarcomas . It is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy . Unlike other primary bone cancers that mainly affect children and adolescents , chondrosarcoma can present at any age . It more often affects the axial skeleton than the appendicular skeleton .

neg: Lymph node biopsy Lymph node biopsy is a test in which a lymph node or a piece of a lymph node is removed for examination under a microscope ( see : biopsy ) .   The lymphatic system is made up of several lymph nodes connected by lymph vessels . The nodes produce white blood cells ( lymphocytes ) that fight infections . When an infection is present , the lymph nodes swell , produce more white blood cells , and attempt to trap the organisms that are causing the infection . The lymph nodes also try to trap cancer cells .

neg: Chronic eosinophilic leukemia Chronic eosinophilic leukemia ( CEL ) is a disease in which too many eosinophils ( a type of white blood cell ) are found in the bone marrow , blood , and other tissues . CEL may stay the same for many years , or it may progress quickly to acute leukemia . It is generally caused by overactivation of the oncogene , e.g. PDGFRA through a chromosome translocation or fusion between two genes on the same chromosome , e.g. FIP1L1-PDGFRA gene fusion-induced eosinophilic leukemia . Though a highly rare disease , CEL is extremely manageable with the use of Gleevec , which suppresses the oncogenic effects of PDGFRA .

neg: Chronic neutrophilic leukemia Chronic neutrophilic leukemia ( CNL ) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm that features a persistent neutrophilia in peripheral blood , myeloid hyperplasia in bone marrow , hepatosplenomegaly , and the absence of the Philadelphia chromosome or a BCR/ABL fusion gene .

neg: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia Autoimmune hemolytic anemia ( or autoimmune haemolytic anaemia ; AIHA ) occurs when antibodies directed against the person 's own red blood cells ( RBCs ) cause them to burst ( lyse ) , leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the circulation . The lifetime of the RBCs is reduced from the normal 100 -- 120 days to just a few days in serious cases . The intracellular components of the RBCs are released into the circulating blood and into tissues , leading to some of the characteristic symptoms of this condition . The antibodies are usually directed against high-incidence antigens , therefore they also commonly act on allogenic RBCs ( RBCs originating from outside the person themselves , e.g. in the case of a blood transfusion ) . AIHA is a relatively rare condition , affecting one to three people per 100,000 per year .   The terminology used in this disease is somewhat ambiguous . Although MeSH uses the term `` autoimmune hemolytic anemia '' , some sources prefer the term `` immunohemolytic anemia '' so drug reactions can be included in this category . The National Cancer Institute considers `` immunohemolytic anemia '' , `` autoimmune hemolytic anemia '' , and `` immune complex hemolytic anemia '' to all be synonyms .

neg: Squamous cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC or SqCC ) , also known as squamous cell cancer , is one of the main types of skin cancer that begins from squamous cells in the skin . Cancers that involve the anus , cervix , head and neck , and vagina are also most often squamous cell cancers . The esophagus , urinary bladder , prostate , and lung are other possible sites .   Frequent exposure to direct , strong sunlight without adequate sunscreen protection is a risk factor for skin cancer . Despite sharing the name squamous cell carcinoma , the SCCs of different body sites can show differences in their presenting symptoms , natural history , prognosis , and response to treatment .   SCC typically occurs in people older than 50 years . As of 2014 an increasing number of people in their 20s and 30s are being affected . It is twice as common in men as in women . People with darker skin and eyes have a lower risk than individuals with lighter colored skin . People with fair skin , light hair and eyes are at highest risk of developing the disease .

neg: RNAi-Based Identification System and interference of Specific Cancer Cells A `` classifier '' was created to classify cells by identifying specific characteristics of Cervical Cancer . These characteristics were consistent with HeLa cells , which served as the target cell line for cell death . Upon identifying these cells the Classifier would release specific proteins within the HeLa cell that would trigger apoptosis without killing or endangering neighboring , healthy cells .   The defining characteristics of these Classifiers were defined by elements whose levels within the cells created markers that could be measured . High markers and low markers were established and a `` classifier molecule '' was created to insert into prospective cells , and would induce apoptosis only when cells exhibit the threshold level of High or Low markers . These classifiers would use a small interfering RNA which targeted the repressor and activator in the Lac operon . The potential for therapeutic use , providing that an efficient delivery system can be established for in vivo DNA . In vitro applications are possible provided the classifier molecule can be safely integrated into cultured cells .

neg: Glioma A glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine . It is called a glioma because it arises from glial cells . The most common site of gliomas is the brain . Gliomas make up about 30 % of all brain and central nervous system tumors and 80 % of all malignant brain tumors .

neg: Osteomimicry Osteomimicry occurs when cancer cells begin to express genes normally restricted to cells present within the bone . These genes include osteocalcin , osteopontin , bone sialoprotein , osteonectin , RANK ligand ( NF-κB receptor activator ) and parathyroid hormone related peptide ( PTHrP ) . This change in gene expression allows cancer cells to avoid detection by the immune system and establish colonies in the bone microenvironment . Cancer cells expressing these genes secrete normal bone ECM protein products , abnormally altering the bone matrix and activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the local microenvironment .

neg: Raji cell Raji cell line is the first continuous human cell line from hematopoietic origin . The cell lines produce an unusual strain of Epstein-Barr virus which will both transform cord blood lymphocytes and induce early antigens in Raji cells . Translocations between chromosomes 8 and 22 have occurred in all three lines , but the cells synthesize immunoglobulin M with light chains of the kappa type , in contrast to the usual concordance between a translocation involving chromosome 22 and lambda chain synthesis . Both kappa genes and one lambda gene are rearranged . These findings indicate either that translocation may occur as a separate event from immunoglobulin gene rearrangement or that the proposed hierarchical sequence of immunoglobulin gene rearrangements is not always adhered to . The data also imply that in cells containing a translocation between the long arm of chromosome 8 and a chromosome bearing an immunoglobulin gene , alteration of cellular myc expression may occur regardless of the immunoglobulin gene that is expressed . Raji cell is widely used as a transfection host and also to understand the hematopoietic and other cell malignancies . It also used for detection of immune complex because it possesses and expresses several receptors for certain complement components , as well as Fc receptors for immunoglobulin G.

neg: Cervical cancer Cervical cancer is a cancer arising from the cervix . It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body . Early on , typically no symptoms are seen . Later symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding , pelvic pain , or pain during sexual intercourse . While bleeding after sex may not be serious , it may also indicate the presence of cervical cancer .   Human papillomavirus ( HPV ) infection causes more than 90 % of cases ; most people who have had HPV infections , however , do not develop cervical cancer . Other risk factors include smoking , a weak immune system , birth control pills , starting sex at a young age , and having many sexual partners , but these are less important . Cervical cancer typically develops from precancerous changes over 10 to 20 years . About 90 % of cervical cancer cases are squamous cell carcinomas , 10 % are adenocarcinoma , and a small number are other types . Diagnosis is typically by cervical screening followed by a biopsy . Medical imaging is then done to determine whether or not the cancer has spread .   HPV vaccines protect against between two and seven high-risk strains of this family of viruses and may prevent up to 90 % of cervical cancers . As a risk of cancer still exists , guidelines recommend continuing regular Pap smears . Other methods of prevention include : having few or no sexual partners and the use of condoms . Cervical cancer screening using the Pap smear or acetic acid can identify precancerous changes which when treated can prevent the development of cancer . Treatment of cervical cancer may consist of some combination of surgery , chemotherapy , and radiotherapy . Five year survival rates in the United States are 68 % . Outcomes , however , depend very much on how early the cancer is detected .   Worldwide , cervical cancer is both the fourth-most common cause of cancer and the fourth-most common cause of death from cancer in women . In 2012 , an estimated 528,000 cases of cervical cancer occurred , with 266,000 deaths . This is about 8 % of the total cases and total deaths from cancer . About 70 % of cervical cancers occur in developing countries . In low-income countries , it is the most common cause of cancer death . In developed countries , the widespread use of cervical screening programs has dramatically reduced rates of cervical cancer . In medical research , the most famous cell line known as HeLa was developed from cervical cancer cells of a woman named Henrietta Lacks .

neg: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder ( PTLD ) is the name given to a B-cell proliferation due to therapeutic immunosuppression after organ transplantation . These patients may develop infectious mononucleosis-like lesions or polyclonal polymorphic B-cell hyperplasia . Some of these B-cells may undergo mutations which will render them malignant , giving rise to a lymphoma .   In some patients , the malignant cell clone can become the dominant proliferating cell type , leading to frank lymphoma , a group of B cell lymphomas occurring in immunosuppressed patients following organ transplant .

neg: Mantle cell lymphoma Mantle cell lymphoma ( MCL ) is a type of non-Hodgkin 's lymphoma ( NHL ) , comprising about 6 % of NHL cases . There are only about 15,000 patients presently in the U.S.   MCL is a subtype of B-cell lymphoma , due to CD5 positive antigen-naive pregerminal center B-cell within the mantle zone that surrounds normal germinal center follicles . MCL cells generally over-express cyclin D1 due to a t ( 11:14 ) chromosomal translocation in the DNA . Specifically , the translocation is at t ( 11 ; 14 ) ( q13 ; q32 ) .

neg: Molecular oncology Molecular oncology is an interdisciplinary medical speciality at the interface of medicinal chemistry and oncology that refers to the investigation of the chemistry of cancer and tumors at the molecular scale . Also the development and application of molecularly targeted therapies .


query: Soundgarden was a Seattle contemporary of the grunge band Nirvana.

pos: Soundgarden Soundgarden is an American rock band formed in Seattle , Washington , in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell , lead guitarist Kim Thayil , and bassist Hiro Yamamoto . Matt Cameron became the band 's full-time drummer in 1986 , while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990 . Cornell remained in Soundgarden until his death in May 2017 , putting the band 's future in doubt and leaving Thayil as the only remaining original member of the band .   Soundgarden was one of the seminal bands in the creation of grunge , a style of alternative rock that developed in Seattle , and was one of a number of grunge bands signed to the record label Sub Pop . Soundgarden was the first grunge band to sign to a major label ( A&M Records in 1988 ) , though the band did not achieve commercial success until they popularized the genre in the early 1990s with Seattle contemporaries Pearl Jam , Nirvana , and Alice in Chains .   Soundgarden achieved its biggest success with the 1994 album Superunknown , which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and yielded the Grammy Award-winning singles `` Black Hole Sun '' and `` Spoonman '' . In 1997 , the band broke up due to internal strife over its creative direction . After more than a decade of working on projects and other bands , Soundgarden reunited in 2010 and their sixth studio album , King Animal , was released two years later .   As of 2012 , Soundgarden sold more than 10.5 million records in the United States , and an estimated 22.5 million worldwide . VH1 ranked Soundgarden at number 14 in their special 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock .

neg: Portland Timbers–Seattle Sounders rivalry The Portland -- Seattle rivalry is a soccer rivalry between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders FC soccer teams . The rivalry pre-dates the current teams in both cities , back to the North American Soccer League days , and has since grown into one of the largest and most bitter rivalries in American soccer . The rivalry has spanned across several leagues including the USL First Division , A-League , NASL , and Major League Soccer . According to many players , the Seattle -- Portland rivalry is one of the only true derbies that is present in American soccer . Alan Hinton , a former English international and ex-Sounders coach , has compared the rivalry to those seen in the English Premier League . It is considered to be one of the most intense rivalries in the United States .   Seattle and Portland have had rivalries based on various sports teams . A heated rivalry surrounded the Portland Buckaroos and Seattle Totems of the minor-league Western Hockey League in the 1960s . Later , some fans supported the Thunderbirds or Winterhawks hockey teams . This rivalry `` naturally translated into soccer '' according to one fan . The two cities also had a rivalry between the SuperSonics and Trail Blazers of the NBA , known as the `` Battle of I-5 '' , since both cities intersect on the freeway Interstate 5 . The rivalry continued until the SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008 .

neg: Chief Seattle Chief Seattle ( c. 1786 -- June 7 , 1866 ) was a Suquamish Tribe ( Suquamish ) and Dkhw ` Duw ` Absh ( Duwamish ) chief . A prominent figure among his people , he pursued a path of accommodation to white settlers , forming a personal relationship with `` Doc '' Maynard . The city of Seattle , in the U.S. state of Washington , was named after him . A widely publicized speech arguing in favor of ecological responsibility and respect of Native Americans ' land rights had been attributed to him . However , what he actually said has been lost through translation and rewriting .   The name Seattle is an anglicization of the modern Duwamish conventional spelling Si'ahl , equivalent to the modern Lushootseed spelling siʔaɫ -LSB- ˈsiʔaːɬ -RSB- . He is also known as Sealth , Seathle , Seathl , or See-ahth .

neg: A Minor Forest A Minor Forest was a San Francisco-based math rock band in the 1990s . The band formed after Andee Connors left his home in San Diego to start a career in music in the San Francisco Bay Area . In 1992 he met bassist John Trevor Benson and guitarist Erik Hoversten , forming the band . They were musically related to the Louisville scene of post rock groups like Slint and had personal connections to the San Diego scene of Three Mile Pilot and related bands . Their songs had pop music , progressive rock , and punk rock influences and featured changing time signatures , sudden dynamic changes , silent pauses , unintelligible screaming , catchy , repeating melodic passages and absurd , in-joke titles . Their slogan was `` A Minor Forest Supports the Destruction of Mankind . '' They formed in San Francisco in 1992 and , in addition to other smaller releases , put out three albums : Flemish Altruism ( 1996 ) and Inindependence ( 1998 ) on Chicago label Thrill Jockey Records , and So , Were They in Some Sort of Fight ? ( 1999 ) , a career-spanning compilation on My Pal God records . On November 9 , 2013 they played for the first time in 15 years at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco . Until that show , their previous show was held on November 1 , 1998 at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco .

Seattle was a `` super club '' created to provide Seattle players an opportunity to play at a higher level than the local recreational and semi-pro leagues . In addition to playing exhibition matches against top international teams , F.C. Seattle was a member of the short lived Western Soccer Alliance , was a founding member of the American Professional Soccer League and later spent three seasons in the Pacific Coast Soccer League .

neg: Green Day discography The American punk rock band Green Day has released 12 studio albums , two live albums , four compilation albums , one soundtrack album , four video albums , 10 extended plays , four box sets , 42 singles , ten promotional singles , and 39 music videos . The band has sold over 85 million records worldwide , including more than 30 million in the United States alone . Green Day released their first two studio albums , 1,039 / Smoothed Out Slappy Hours ( 1991 ) ( consisting of the original `` 39/Smooth '' as well as their first two EP 's `` 1,000 Hours '' and `` Slappy '' ) and Kerplunk ( 1991 ) , through the independent label Lookout ! Records before signing to major label Reprise Records . Dookie , the band 's first album on the label and third studio album overall , was released in February 1994 . It was a breakout success , selling over 10 million copies in the United States and 20 million copies worldwide . Dookie spawned five singles , including the international hits `` Longview '' , Basket Case '' and `` When I Come Around '' . The album placed Green Day at the forefront of the 1990s punk rock revival .   Insomniac , the band 's fourth studio album , was released in October 1995 . While not as successful as Dookie , the album managed to peak at number two on the US Billboard 200 and received a double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) . Nimrod followed in October 1997 ; it peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200 . Four singles were released from Nimrod ; the most successful of these was `` Good Riddance ( Time of Your Life ) '' , which hit the top ten in countries such as Australia and Canada . The band 's sixth studio album Warning was released in October 2000 to mild commercial success , peaking at number four on the Billboard 200 and only earning a gold certification from the RIAA .   Their seventh studio album American Idiot reignited the band 's popularity with a younger generation . Becoming the band 's first album to top the Billboard 200 , American Idiot sold over six million copies in the United States , and over 14 million copies worldwide . The album spawned five commercially successful singles : `` American Idiot '' , `` Boulevard of Broken Dreams '' , `` Holiday '' , `` Wake Me Up When September Ends '' , and `` Jesus of Suburbia '' . The band 's eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown followed in May 2009 , topping the Billboard 200 and being certified platinum by the RIAA . Two singles from the album -- `` Know Your Enemy '' and `` 21 Guns '' -- became top 40 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 . A trilogy of studio albums -- ¡ Uno ! , ¡ Dos ! , and ¡ Tré ! -- were released toward the end of 2012 . ¡ Uno ! , ¡ Dos ! and ¡ Tré ! peaked at numbers two , nine and thirteen respectively on the Billboard 200 . In 2016 , another studio album , Revolution Radio was released and topped the Billboard 200 .

neg: Meat Puppets (album) Meat Puppets is the first album by American band the Meat Puppets , released in 1982 . The album is unlike their later , better-known releases due to its hardcore punk sound .   The album was recorded in a matter of days , there are very few overdubs and many of the tracks are first takes . Like other early SST albums the sound quality is rather spotty ; there is noticeable fuzz in the background of the music . The band opted for this because they felt more comfortable recording live with only a few microphones rather than employing conventional studio separation techniques . In 1999 , Curt Kirkwood stated , `` The first -LSB- album -RSB- was our LSD record . We were three days in the studio , and we tripped the whole time . And it was really cool , and really trying , too , because we went insane . ''   The 1999 Rykodisc reissue features the entire In a Car EP as well as 13 other bonus tracks , many of them studio jams or outtakes , and a video clip of the band performing `` Walking Boss '' live . The booklet also has liner notes by Gregg Turkington and recording notes by drummer Derrick Bostrom .   In the 2012 book , Too High to Die : Meet the Meat Puppets by Greg Prato , an entire chapter is dedicated to Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil explaining why Meat Puppets is one of his favorite all-time albums .

neg: Music Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time . The common elements of music are pitch ( which governs melody and harmony ) , rhythm ( and its associated concepts tempo , meter , and articulation ) , dynamics ( loudness and softness ) , and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture ( which are sometimes termed the `` color '' of a musical sound ) . Different styles or types of music may emphasize , de-emphasize or omit some of these elements . Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping ; there are solely instrumental pieces , solely vocal pieces ( such as songs without instrumental accompaniment ) and pieces that combine singing and instruments . The word derives from Greek μουσική #Ancient Greek ( mousike ; `` art of the Muses '' ) .   In its most general form , the activities describing music as an art form or cultural activity include the creation of works of music ( songs , tunes , symphonies , and so on ) , the criticism of music , the study of the history of music , and the aesthetic examination of music . Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies . Common sayings such as `` the harmony of the spheres '' and `` it is music to my ears '' point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to . However , 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music , saying , for example , `` There is no noise , only sound . ''   The creation , performance , significance , and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context . Indeed , throughout history , some new forms or styles of music have been criticized as `` not being music '' , including Beethoven 's Grosse Fuge string quartet in 1825 , early jazz in the beginning of the 1900s and hardcore punk in the 1980s . There are many types of music , including popular music , traditional music , art music , music written for religious ceremonies and work songs such as chanteys . Music ranges from strictly organized compositions -- such as Classical music symphonies from the 1700s and 1800s , through to spontaneously played improvisational music such as jazz , and avant-garde styles of chance-based contemporary music from the 20th and 21st centuries .   Music can be divided into genres ( e.g. , country music ) and genres can be further divided into subgenres ( e.g. , country blues and pop country are two of the many country subgenres ) , although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle , sometimes open to personal interpretation , and occasionally controversial . For example , it can be hard to draw the line between some early 1980s hard rock and heavy metal . Within the arts , music may be classified as a performing art , a fine art or as an auditory art . Music may be played or sung and heard live at a rock concert or orchestra performance , heard live as part of a dramatic work ( a music theater show or opera ) , or it may be recorded and listened to on a radio , MP3 player , CD player , smartphone or as film score or TV show .   In many cultures , music is an important part of people 's way of life , as it plays a key role in religious rituals , rite of passage ceremonies ( e.g. , graduation and marriage ) , social activities ( e.g. , dancing ) and cultural activities ranging from amateur karaoke singing to playing in an amateur funk band or singing in a community choir . People may make music as a hobby , like a teen playing cello in a youth orchestra , or work as a professional musician or singer . The music industry includes the individuals who create new songs and musical pieces ( such as songwriters and composers ) , individuals who perform music ( which include orchestra , jazz band and rock band musicians , singers and conductors ) , individuals who record music ( music producers and sound engineers ) , individuals who organize concert tours , and individuals who sell recordings and sheet music and scores to customers .

neg: The Evens The Evens are a Washington , D.C. indie-rock duo , formed in the fall of 2001 , comprising partners Ian MacKaye ( guitars , vocals ) ( of Fugazi , formerly of Minor Threat ) and Amy Farina ( drums , vocals ) ( formerly of The Warmers ) . After Ian MacKaye 's band Fugazi entered a hiatus , The Evens began practicing extensively , and eventually played a few shows and recorded a self-titled album , released in March 2005 on MacKaye 's label , Dischord Records . The Evens are known for their unusual choices in venues for performances and the stylistic change from what many have dubbed the `` D.C. '' or `` Dischord '' sound . The Washington Post has described the sound as `` what happens when post-hardcore becomes post-post-hardcore . ''   The Evens first gained notice in late 2003 when they created a video for their original children 's song `` Vowel Movement '' , which was made for Pancake Mountain , a Washington , D.C. internet-based children 's program . The clip fueled furthered rumors of Fugazi 's breakup amid their hiatus , while adding speculation as to MacKaye 's new musical direction . The song featured sing-along lines and upbeat music in the vein of Sesame Street and other children 's educational programs , while the video showed dancing children and colorful vowels . After the initial reaction to `` Vowel Movement '' , most have taken The Evens ' first `` project '' positively , and in fact the song has become something of a fan favorite . Some have even asked them to play `` Vowel Movement '' during shows , something The Evens have expressed no desire to do .   The Evens are significant for fans of MacKaye because it is his first project aside from Fugazi since Pailhead ( 1988 ) , his first non-Fugazi related LP since Embrace , released in 1987 , and his first and probably only music video with `` Vowel Movement '' .   In June and July 2006 , MacKaye and Farina recorded new music that they wrote earlier in that year . On November 6 , 2006 , they released their second album entitled Get Evens , which featured this new music .   On Saturday , May 24 , 2008 , Amy Farina and Ian MacKaye welcomed their first child , a son named Carmine Francis Farina MacKaye .   The Dischord site announced that The Evens are working on a new album on June 22 , 2012 . In September 2012 , the website announced that the new album called The Odds would be released on November 20 , 2012 .   The album The Odds was listed 45th on Stereogum 's list of top 50 albums of 2012 .

neg: Schoolkids Records Schoolkids Records is a retail indie record store based in the `` Triangle '' region of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill , North Carolina .   Founded in 1974 , Schoolkids is one of the longest running music retail stores in the country and at one point had as many as 7 stores throughout the eastern North Carolina region ( Raleigh ( 2 ) , Durham , Chapel Hill , Cary , Greenville ) and one in Athens , Georgia . As of 2009 the main flagship store in Raleigh , NC ( Across from NC State University ) was the sole location still in business . In October 2013 , the store announced it would relocate to the Mission Valley Shopping Center to make way for a destination hotel that was causing the eviction of several local businesses along Hillsborough Street . The new location would still allow the business to operate close to the university , while expanding space for live music performances and the ability to sell craft beers .   The store has often been located close to College and University campus and focuses mostly on selling Alternative , Independent and College music , selling both Vinyl and CDs , with the trend largely going back to more and more Vinyl by 2012 . Schoolkids has been widely known as the main record store for almost 40 years ( until the other locations closed ) around schools such as : North Carolina State University , The University of North Carolina , Duke University , East Carolina University and The University of Georgia .   The store has often been the destination and shopping preference for many local and national bands in this area , many of whom either worked at the store or started selling their first albums or 7 '' singles at the store on consignment . Artists to get their start selling records at Schoolkids include : Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown , Superchunk , Archers of Loaf , Ben Folds , The Connells , Polvo , Athenaeum , Squirrel Nut Zippers and many others . The store was also one of the first retail outlets to sell No Depression Magazine and to work with labels such as Merge Records , Mammoth Records and Yep Roc Records .   The store saw its highest level of sales in the early 90 's when the independent music sector exploded with the success of Nirvana .   Schoolkids has often been confused with some of the other stores in the country with the same name , including `` School Kids Records '' and `` School Kids in Exile '' in Ann Arbor , Michigan as well as other cities like Gainesville , Florida , but the stores were not connected in ownership to the main independent chain in North Carolina .   Schoolkids is a founding members of the CIMS Coalition , The first national Coalition of Independent Music Stores and has also been named by both Time Magazine and The Grammys as one of the `` top ten '' record stores in the United States .   In 2014 , in their new location at the Mission Valley Shopping Center ( just on the south side of NC State 's main campus ) , Schoolkids obtained an ABC license and started serving craft beers on draft and cans to their customers . The store increased its instore performances from national and local bands and became a store by day and a lounge-style bar/venue by night . Shows end early ( generally start at 8pm ) and are over by 10pm . All shows are free and the store encourages customers to tip the band in a ` pass the Devo energy dome ' event each night . For Record Store Day 2014 , Schoolkids had its best sales day in its 40-year history . In July , they hosted a 40th Anniversary show for free at the Lincoln Theatre and the lineup was : The DeBonzo Brothers , Hank Sinatra , Six String Drag , The Baseball Project ( Featuring Steve Wynn of the Dream Syndicate and his wife Linda Pitmon , Scott McCaughey ( Minus 5 ) , Mike Mills & Peter Buck ( R.E.M. ) and co-headliners , drivin ' n ' cryin ' . The show was a huge success drawing close to 700 people for the 5 -- 6 hour event . The store also saw Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legend , John Densmore , of the Doors visit for a book signing in September that drew over 300 rabid fans of The Doors to the store to enjoy some beers and get a book signed by a rock and roll legend . At year end , Schoolkids had seen its first growth year in almost 10 years and Vinyl sales were now 70 % of the business , with a growth of 57 % from 2013-2014 .

neg: Lame Gig Contest Lame Gig Contest is the only full-length studio album by the Berkeley , California-based punk rock band Crimpshrine . After previously being rejected by the band 's label Lookout Records , it was finally released in January 1989 in Germany on Musical Tragedies . The first 1,000 copies of the album featured a yellow cover , while a later pressing of 500 was released with blue . Although the majority of the songs were recorded specifically for the album , Lame Gig Contest also contained tracks from previous sessions . The songs `` Rearranged '' and `` Another Day '' were originally featured on the Maximumrocknroll compilation Turn It Around ! in 1987 , while `` Concrete Lawns '' , `` MSFMB '' and `` 2nd Generation Junkies '' were unreleased recordings from the sessions of their Sleep , What 's That ? EP .   Having stayed out of print after its second pressing , the album was widely bootlegged by fans for several years . In 1992 , a number of the tracks were featured on the posthumous Lookout compilation album Duct-Tape Soup , while most of the others were released on The Sound of a New World Being Born in 1998 . The only songs from the album not to see release in the United States were `` New Scenery '' and `` Concrete Lawns '' . Since the closure of Lookout in 2012 , both compilations have gone out of print .

neg: Chillwave Chillwave ( originally called `` glo-fi '' or `` hypnagogic pop '' ; also `` dream-beat '' ) is a style of music characterized by a faded or dreamy retro pop sound , mellow vocals , a low-to-moderate tempo , escapist lyrics about the beach or summertime , psychedelic or lo-fi textures , effects processing ( reverb especially ) , vintage synthesizers , and other attempts to loosely emulate 1980s electronic pop aesthetics as well as engage with notions of memory and nostalgia . Sometimes regarded as a `` made-up '' genre , the movement 's vanguard was represented by Neon Indian , Washed Out , and Toro y Moi , who gained critical attention through what was termed the 2009 `` Summer of Chillwave '' .   Coinciding with the economic turmoil of the late 2000s and early 2010s recession , chillwave was one of the first music genres to develop by being linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet rather than geographic location . The style draws from elements in dream pop and shoegaze , as well as the work of artists such as Panda Bear , Animal Collective , and lo-fi musician Ariel Pink . The term `` hypnagogic pop '' was coined at virtually the same time as `` chillwave '' to describe similar artists . Other elements related to drug-induced mind states and idyllic summer fantasies were drawn from the Beach Boys ' Brian Wilson . Washed Out 's 2009 track `` Feel It All Around '' remains the genre 's definitive and best-known song .   The term `` chillwave '' , which originated from the satirical blog Hipster Runoff in 2009 , was ultimately criticized for being nebulous and contrived . Some artists rejected the tag , while hundreds of others exploited the style 's low-budget simplicity , one of the major reasons for its decline . Media coverage usually derided the genre 's name , its reliance on nostalgia , and the ubiquitous mention of `` the summer '' in its writings . After chillwave was the subject of much discourse on websites like Gorilla vs. Bear and Pitchfork , the movement dissipated , and the style effectively fell out of vogue . The Internet-based microgenre vaporwave would be inspired by chillwave .

neg: Earth (American band) Earth is an American musical group based in Olympia , Washington , formed in 1989 and led by the guitarist Dylan Carlson . Earth 's music is nearly all instrumental , and can be divided into two distinct stages . Their early work is characterized by distortion , droning , minimalism , and lengthy , repetitive song structures . The band 's later output reduces the distortion while incorporating elements of country , jazz rock , and folk . Earth is recognized as a pioneer of drone metal , with the band 's Earth 2 being regarded as a milestone of the genre .

neg: Characteristics of progressive rock Progressive rock is a term that refers to a musical style . The term was originally referred to as `` classical rock '' ( in which a band performed together with an orchestra ) , but the term 's use has expanded in recent years to include other fusions of music styles including jazz fusion , metal and folk rock musics . The term does not refer to one particular music style but to an approach that combines elements of diverse styles . Jerry Ewing , editor of Prog Magazine , explains that `` Prog is not just a sound , it 's a mindset . '' Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci outlines that Progressive rock is defined by its very lack of stylistic boundaries . The advent of the concept album , plus the genre 's roots in psychedelia , led albums and performances to be viewed as combined presentations of music , lyrics , and visuals .   Bands abandoned the short pop single in favor of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz or classical music as part of an effort to give rock music the same level of musical sophistication and critical respect . Progressive rock abandons the danceable beat that defines earlier rock styles and is more likely than other types of popular music to experiment with compositional structure , instrumentation , harmony and rhythm , or lyrical content . It may demand more effort on the part of the listener than other types of music .   Musicians in progressive rock typically display a high degree of instrumental skill , although this is not always the case . Virtuoso instrumental skills are so closely associated with progressive rock that authors such as Bill Martin consider it as a defining element and exclude bands such as Pink Floyd from consideration . It is not uncommon for musicians to have received a higher-than-average level of formal training . Players from the genre frequently appear in readers ' polls of publications that cater to musicians .

neg: Center for Disease Control Boys The Center for Disease Control Boys were a Western swing band formed in Seattle , Washington in 1986 .

Their stage show used an array of props and costumes such as bales of hay , stuffed roosters , rubber trout , and wads of self printed ` country currency ' tossed into the crowd to mock the Federal Reserve and the demise of the dollar .   The band was only in existence for six months , but they are noteworthy for their ever-changing lineup of musicians and performers which included Chris Cornell of Soundgarden , Jonathan Poneman , founder of Sub Pop Records , and Ben McMillan , lead singer for Skin Yard and Gruntruck .

The band entered the Billboard 200 albums chart with its self-titled EMI America Records release `` Rail '' . The band toured with Van Halen , Heart , Ted Nugent , Blue Öyster Cult , Three Dog Night , The Beach Boys , Nazareth , and others .   Rail released three albums and one EP between 1980 -- 1997 and remains a long-touring staple of the Washington local music scene . Although not officially recognized on any of their albums , during the early to mid-80 's several well known local artists appeared as guest performers live and in the studio . In 1985 they were joined by guitarist Ronnie Montrose for several months . He was looking for a new band , and Rick Knotts had recently left . Billed as `` Rail featuring Ronnie Montrose '' or `` Ronnie & Rail , '' they played a set of half Rail favorites and half Montrose songs ( `` Rock Candy , '' `` Rock the Nation , '' `` Matriarch , '' and Gamma 's remake of Thunderclap Newman 's `` Something in the Air '' ) . At the end of the tour , there was an amicable split .   The original four members continue to perform and record together . In late 2009 , the band began work on its 5th record .

Indian films have also come to be followed throughout South Asia , the Greater Middle East , Southeast Asia and other countries . Dadasaheb Phalke is known as the `` father of Indian cinema '' . The Dadasaheb Phalke Award , for lifetime contribution to cinema , was instituted in his honour , by the Government of India in 1969 , and is the most prestigious and coveted award in Indian cinema .   In the 20th century , Indian cinema , along with the Hollywood and Chinese film industries , became a global enterprise . As of 2013 , in terms of annual film output , India ranks first , followed by Nollywood , Hollywood and China . In 2012 , India produced 1,602 feature films . The Indian film industry reached overall revenues of $ 1.86 billion ( 93 billion ) in 2011 . This is projected to rise to $ 3 billion ( 200 billion ) in 2016 . In 2015 , India had a total box office gross of , the fourth largest in the world outside North America . Enhanced technology paved the way for upgrading from established cinematic norms of delivering product , altering the manner in which content reached the target audience . Biopics like Dangal and CGI-laden epics like Baahubali emerged as transnational blockbusters grossing over $ 200 million each in early 21st century . Indian cinema found markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened . The Indian government extended film delegations to foreign countries such as the United States of America and Japan while the country 's Film Producers Guild sent similar missions through Europe .   The provision of 100 % foreign direct investment has made the Indian film market attractive for foreign enterprises such as 20th Century Fox , Sony Pictures , Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. . Indian enterprises such as AVM Productions , Prasad 's Group , Sun Pictures , PVP Cinemas , Zee , UTV , Suresh Productions , Eros Films , Ayngaran International , Pyramid Saimira , Aascar Films and Adlabs also participated in producing and distributing films . Tax incentives to multiplexes have aided the multiplex boom in India . By 2003 as many as 30 film production companies had been listed in the National Stock Exchange of India , making the commercial presence of the medium felt .   The South Indian film industry defines the four film cultures of South India as a single entity . They are the Telugu , the Tamil , the Malayalam and the Kannada industries . Although developed independently over a long period , gross exchange of film performers and technicians as well as globalisation helped to shape this new identity .   The Indian diaspora consists of millions of Indians overseas for which films are made available both through media such as DVDs and by screening of films in their country of residence wherever commercially feasible . These earnings , accounting for some 12 % of the revenue generated by a mainstream film , contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema , the net worth of which was found to be 1.3 billion in 2000 . Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator with the music rights alone accounting for 4 -- 5 % of the net revenues generated by a film in India .
