{zanru} and {selmanci} or {zgiselmanci} specifically for music.

There are plenty of weird words that we have that don't map to English if 
you're looking for something like that. Like {ckavre} means like... 
reclining in bed. The problem with Lojban is that you can't really just 
assign an arbitrary new meaning to a word or add implication to a word. 
That's not part of the language. We have weird words that don't map to 
English perfectly and we have some silly addages/phrases/words like {.i 
ko'a muvdu .ije le drata ku klama fu zi'o}, which is like "Six of one, 
half-a-dozen of the other.", but doesn't actually say that.

So... no, we don't have words for "rock n' roll" or "funky" or "bitchin'", 
but neither does Japanese or Chinese or Arabic. >_>
