In modern usage, an orgy is a sex party where guests freely engage in open and unrestrained sexual activity or group sex.
Swingers' parties do not always conform to this designation because at many swinger parties the sexual partners may all know each other or at least have some commonality among economic class, educational attainment or other shared attributes. Some swingers contend that an orgy, as opposed to a sex party, requires some anonymity of sexual partners in complete sexual abandon.<ref name="differences cited in "Swinger Survey Results on Difference Between Orgies and Group Sex">Wojick, Helen (October 2010). "Swinger Survey Results on Difference Between Orgies and Group Sex". The Swingers Blog. Retrieved April 26, 2012. </ref> Other kinds of "sex party" may fare less well with this labeling.
Participation in an "orgy" is a common sexual fantasy and group sex targeting such consumers is a subgenre in pornographic films.
The term is also used metaphorically in expressions, such as an "orgy of colour" or an "orgy of destruction" to indicate excess, overabundance. The term "orgiastic" does not generally connote group sex and is closer to the classical roots and this metaphorical usage.

Orgy is an American rock band formed in 1994, from Los Angeles, California. Orgy described their music as "death pop".
Orgy was formed in 1994 by vocalist Jay Gordon and guitarists Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. Bassist Paige Haley, and drummer Bobby Hewitt soon completed the line-up. Derakh had previously gained some fame in the 1980s metal band Rough Cutt, and Hewitt was a former member of Electric Love Hogs. Gordon and Derakh were also experienced producers, having produced Coal Chamber's self-titled CD.
Within six months Jonathan Davis, who performed with Shuck in Sexart, signed Orgy to Korn's label Elementree Records.
In 1998, Orgy released their debut album, Candyass, the name inspired by a drag queen they had met, selling almost two million copies. The album produced two singles; a cover of the New Order song "Blue Monday", and "Stitches". The song "Revival" featured Jonathan Davis of Korn.
It's in my head everyday
A braindead revolution
Mixed up in so many ways
But it translates the same
It translates the same
Too bad you get nothing back
From putting all this time into this
But no one waits, no one waits
Let me think of a way to describe
The system of you
As you linger in anticipation
You'll discover that I'm becoming
Sonic, Sonic, Sonic
[ Chorus ]
Being me, it's hard to find the system of you
Being me, it's hard to find the system of you
(Repeat 2x)
I'll take a big step back
To describe the system of me
One to ten, you know is our ration
That we'll start it all over, all over
Again and again
[ Chorus ]
Delivering what's real, I think of you anyway
Knowing what to say
It's pampering when considering the truth
I think of you anyway,
but the truth can be unreal
The future has no meaning,
the pockers of rage
Their supply of the two
That make us tick, tick, tick
The future has no meaning, the pockers of rage
Their supply of the two
That make us tick, tick, tick
