CIBO (pronounced- chee-bow)Name for a non-pretentious person who enjoys all food. Either talking about food, or eating food, a cibo is happy with all things food and takes minimal amount of pictures. Cibo is the antithesis of a foodie. Foodie, once used to describe a person with an interest in all things food, became a word to represent the most snobbish, arrogant and pretentious of the food enthusiasts. Cibo then became a new word for folks appreciative, but not uptight about all things food.
An alternative pop-rock band formed in 1994 in New York, New York. The band blends many aspects of the mixed cultures found there to form catchy, dancable songs. MihoHatori (vocals, also a part of Gorillaz) and Yuka Honda (keyboard), the members that the band originally comprised of, chose the name "Cibo Matto" based on their shared love of food, the name being Italian for "food madness." The lyrics are composed in a combination of English and French. Other then the fact that the band members are of Japanese origin, they are in no way related to the J-Pop scene.
