Shostakovich 

Probably the most hardcore classical composer to live. You think your screamo shit is "hardcore?" Then you have not heard of Shostakovich and your opinion is invalid.

Shostakovich was a genius who lived under the oppressive watch of the USSR; as a result, Shostakovich composed some of the most frightening music ever conceived by man.

His Symphony No. 5 and Symphony No. 10 are (arguably) his most badass pieces.
Richard: I hate classical. It's fucking boring.
Mark: You have clearly never heard of Shostakovich.
*After listening to the "Allegro" from Symphony 10*
Richard: Dude, my mind is blown.

Shostakovich 

Dmitri Shostakovich, noun.

Dmitri Shostakovich was a Russian classical composer who lived through the oppression of the Soviet Union, and lived from September 25, 1906 to August 9th, 1975. He is regarded to have composed pieces which had objected to the tyrannical power of the Soviet Union, which were also known to be some of the most intense in the history of classical, such as his Fifth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth symphonies. He had composed pieces on other topics, such as various historical events like the 1905 and the 1918 Russian revolutions.
In the midst of his musical career, he was denounced and had gained a condition of depression that would never recover. He was known by his family to be obsessed with cleanliness and organization, and would frequently synchronize all of the family's clocks. He also had favored playing cards and soccer.
Person 1: Ugh... All classical music is boring and requires no skill. Go listen to Billie Eilish instead.

Person 2: The real leader of depressing music is Shostakovich, go listen to his 11th and come back.

SHOOTAN GAEM 

A pejorative term used to refer to video games deemed, by the user, as generic exercises in mindless action/shooting. Typically referring to a game of the FPS genre.

The capitalization and intentional misspelling of "game" attempt to mimic the crude online vernacular of the "typical" SHOOTAN GAEMer, assumed to be teenagers and those lacking in cognitive ability.

The phrase can also be altered and applied to other game genres, usually referencing the most most base, repetitive aspect of a genre's gameplay. A common example is "GRINDAN GAEM", applied to RPGs and MMOs, mocking the repetitive combat and level building, or "grinding", necessary for in-game advancement.

Originated on 4chan's /v/ (video game) image board.
"Why would I want an Xbox 360? All they release for that system are generic SHOOTAN GAEMS!"
