symphoria 

{noun}The feeling of euphoria one gets after hearing an amazing piece of classical music, whether string ensemble, wind ensemble, full orchestra, or otherwise.

{adj.} symphoric
Hearing Dvorak's New World Symphony performed live gives me the ultimate feeling of symphoria.

Every time Stephen plays the saxophone and Rachel plays the oboe, audiences begin to feel symphoric (assuming their reeds are not being diva bitches).

Simply the best subgenre of metal out there. Combines the distorted guitars and powerful drums of metal with the beautiful symphonic sound of classical orchestra instruments, such as violins, pianos, cellos, etc.
Some great symphonic metal bands include: Rhapsody of Fire, Therion, Symphony X, Nightwish, Kamelot, Angra, and more

Symphogear

An anime-original series about magical girl lesbians who have to sing in order to fight against aliens whose touch can make humanity bites the dust. These girls often do crazy shit like punching mountains shorter, summoning giant swords from the sky, or fighting against transgender Illuminati alchemists.
Is Symphogear that show that has a character saying “this isn’t an anime!” all the time?

symphonic metal

The best kind of metal there is out there. It's got the hardcore drums and guitars of heavy metal, but most of the time beautiful symphonies (like in classical music) are added, mainly by instruments such as acoustic guitar, piano, keyboard, violin. In other words, a brilliant work of art.
Some good symphonic metal bands are Within Temptation, Epica, Delain, Nightwish, Otep, Leaves' Eyes, and Tristania.

Symphonic Black Metal 

Symphonic Black Metal is essentially the Black Metal equivalent of Melodic Death Metal, only (as the name states) is more related to a symphony.

Symphonic Black Metal uses Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, and on occasions Symphony instruments such as Violins, Cellos, etc.
Dimmu Borgir is my favorite Symphonic Black Metal band.
