Banger isn’t really short for headbanger, though they may have been related at one point. A song doesn’t have to be loud and/or aggressive to be a banger.

No. A “headbanger” is fast and furious.

Hogwash

Good example! There was a time when “hogwash” literally meant the slop fed to pigs, then it meant cheap liquor, and eventually bad writing. These days it means “BS” and you’d be ridiculous to pretend that “only” the original definition had any meaning.

Counterpoint: You can headbang to Black Sabbath's Iron Man and it's not fats and furious
