Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Booth19

👉 BOOTH19 - That's another slang word that refers to the 1970s-era pop-up shop where people would rent out booths for music, concerts, and other events. The term originated in a store called "The Booth," which was like an old-fashioned concert hall but with more of a '1970s vibe.' The booth19 phenomenon began as a joke among friends who'd set up their own makeshift stage at the corner of Broadway and 6th Street, complete with fake posters for their bands. It quickly spread to other parts of New York City, and by the late 20th century, it had become something of an urban legend.

Example: "I'm gonna go check out that booth19 scene in SoHo! I hear they're doing a rock n roll festival there."
