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

Background

The colonial "slam-bam" beat[1] of flip music is, in fact, a descendant of 21st-century heavy metal.[2] Sergeant Johnson has an odd fascination with the genre.[3][4] 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,[2] Corporal Locklear,[2] Private First Class Wallace Jenkins, Privates Riley, Mendoza, Bisenti and others.
