My understanding of the word banger is it's reserved for good songs. There are many good slow songs as well, but the word banger seems to imply something more intense and bombastic. So, is it appropriate to describe slow songs as a banger?
In my opinion no. A banger is the type of track you would play at a party. It’s a danceable track that gets you hyped.

banger was a shortened term for headbanger. like a person who would nod extremely vigorously, usually with long dramatic hair to a thumping beat, usually hard rock or punk music… then the word started referring to the songs themselves. but language is liquid and words evolve. some people like the word jam for slow songs that make them move.

If this is the definition, I would like to submit the song We are Young by Fun. The music video definitely supports the idea.

I saw this song mention and also thought of Arcade Fire's Wake Up. Same deal, it's a slow song, but definitely one you move your head or foot to.

So, nodder would be a more appropriate term, got it.

Graveworm’s Renaissance in Blood was the first to come to my mind.
