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?

    I thought a banger was just a stronger version of a bop - a really great song that slaps (more youngin vernacular).

    There is such a thing as a sad banger - a slower, more downbeat song that is great and really moves you. May I submit for your approval: New Person, Same Old Mistakes by Tame Impala (or Same Ol’ Mistakes by Rihanna). ETA: I would also consider Missing by Everything But the Girl a sad banger.
