Flip music
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "Private Mendoza: Why do we always have to listen to this old stuff, Sarge?"
- "Staff Sergeant Johnson: Watch your mouth, son, this "stuff" is your history. It should remind you grunts what we're fightin' to protect!"
- "Private Mendoza: Hey, if the Covenant want to wipe out this particular part of my history, that's fine by me."
- "Private Bisenti: Yeah... better it than us."

Flip Music is a genre of music created and performed by humans.
Background
The "slam-bam" beat[1] of flip music is descended from 21st century heavy metal.[2] Avery Johnson has an odd fascination with the genre.[1][3] Those around him, however, are less interested in this genre of music. Flip music is popular at dance clubs, which are common destinations for Marines and Orbital Drop Shock Troopers on leave.[4] Many people dislike flip music, including Captain Jacob Keyes, SPARTAN John-117,[2] Corporal Locklear,[2] Private First Class Wallace Jenkins, and Privates Riley, Mendoza, and Bisenti.
Trivia
- 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.
