fiend
v.— «I fiend for the music, but not as actively as I have in the past. I now fiend for people’s interactions with hiphop music: what it does to them, how it changes their views, how and if they feel they belong in the culture.» —“Re: Girls and aggresive rap” by anissel@mail2.sas.upenn.edu (Angela) Usenet: rec.music.hip-hop Sept. 17, 1998.
