An abbreviation of 'radical'--a term made popular by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Still primarily used by people who find words like 'cool', 'awesome', and 'tight' to be tired and overused;
'rad' is generally considered to be a much higher praise than the aforementioned superlatives.
Also used as a general expression of awe.
"Those are some rad shoes."
"Oh, RAD."
Definition by the urban dictionary
Apparently this guy is "RAD"

MAD DOG - Saturday, February 13, 2010
This chunky compendium is a dungeonful of metal overload, complete with leather- and spandex-panted, huge-haired rockers, drooling beasts, and plenty of skulls. Charting a visual course of the genre,Heavy Metal Thunder shows the best album art from its youthful incarnation in the late '70s through the MTV era, when glam and hair metal ruled; to the punk-inflected revolutions of thrash and Nu Metal (with a grunge side trip); to the gory contemporary genres of grindcore, black metal, and doom. Page after page of aggressive and excessive album graphics makes this the perfect gift for both current metalheads and nostalgic (if embarrassed), thirty-and forty-somethings with headbanging memories.
James Sherry and Neil Aldis have both written about rock music for Metal Hammer,Indiecator, and Rock World as well as numerous other magazines. They live in London.
