Flip Music is a type of music trend created and performed by humans.

Background
The colonial "slam-bam" beat of flip music is, in fact, a descendant of 21st-century heavy metal. Sergeant Johnson has an odd fascination with the genre. Those around him, however, are less interested in this genre of music. There are many who dislike flip music, including Captain Jacob Keyes, John-117, Corporal Locklear, Private First Class Wallace Jenkins, Privates Riley, Mendoza, Bisenti and others.

Trivia

 * Flip music is popular at dance clubs, which are common destinations for Marines and ODSTs on leave.
 * The flip music heard in the "Jenkins' helmet cam" cinematic is a song called "Shreddin'". This song was created for Halo: Combat Evolved, although it is not present on the retail soundtrack. It was later released as a free download on Bungie.net.
