[edit]Etymology

[edit]overdriven (comparative more overdriven, superlative most overdriven)
- Driven too hard, or beyond normal limits; exhausted.
- 2007 February 18, Ben Ratliff, “Soft Balladry, Raw Angularity and Beats With Heavy Feet”, in New York Times[1]:
- Intertwining, staccato rhythmic patterns by overdriven guitars and basses — the kind of thing that makes rock critics say “angular” in their sleep — used to be merely a sign of semi-competence; now it’s a trademark post-punk device with 30 years of formidable history.
