i just thought that dJohn didn't know what "rococco" meant, so i was trying to clear that up! ok?

and btw, rococco isn't just a style of ornamentation though. it's also a style of clothing & music & behaviour and living in general etc. kind of a cultural phenomenon that affected in the 18th century!

there's no rococco nowadays, it's just something that tries to look like rococco, but it's not rococco!

i don't know if kansai was affected by some rococco style when they made the song. i don't think so. maybe they just liked the word and thought it was cool, so they named their track rococco!

from what i've heard there usually are not any deeper meanings in the track or artist names!

informative, but i doubt that the group was named after any of those definitions.

the name stems from the kind of tree. 'chicane.'

Northern lights is also a slang term for a highly potent form of marijuana

Says who? An interview of Nick's I read said the name is meant to refer to a chicane on a racetrack; his productions are meant to make you slow down in an otherwise busy environment. Not to say you're necessarily wrong, and he could easily have intended it to mean a couple things anyway.
