PreDictionary
PreDictionary n (pre, from Lat. prae, before + dictionary; or: predict + suffixes –ion and –ary) – a proactive dictionary that does not register words that are already in use but "predicts" new words, introduces them for the first time into common usage.
Almost all dictionaries, even those that contain neologisms, are reactive: they reflect various stages in the development of language. PreDictionary is a projective and proactive dictionary: it contributes new words that could make their way into the dictionaries of the future.

lexipoeia, or lexicopoeia
lexipoeia, or lexicopoeia n (Gr. lexis, "word, phrase, expression," from legein, say, and Gr. poiein, "to make or compose") – word-composition, word-creation; the minimal genre of literature, the art of composing a single word, a neologism (from roots and combining forms)
There are many sorts of neologisms: new brand names, scientific terms, political or technical jargon, colloquialisms, and slang. When a word is composed for the word's sake, as a manifestation of its beauty, this genre of verbal creativity is called "lexipoeia."

The word "lexipoem" is an abbreviation of this aphorism condensed into a single word.
Every word (lexis) was once a poem (poiema)… and still IS at the moment of its coinage.

hardcore
in the music sense, a form of underground music that takes music to extremes. started in the early 80`s with bands like minor threat and black flag. i like to call this classic hardcore. then in the late 80`s there were many hardline, "positive" straightedge bands like chain of strength and gorilla biscuits. i like to call this oldchool hardcore. then in the early 90`s straigtedge became rediculous, and the bands got more metallic, with bands like Earth Crisis and Strife. I just call this hardcore. Then all throughout the 90s there were those hardcore bands with the scary, grindy sound, like converge, dillenger escape plan, or discordence axis. Then there were some bands like 10 yard fight who tried to re-create the hardcore sound of the late 80`s, a few were ok but most really sucked. This developed into what some people call "posi" hardcore. These days, you have your choice of shitty mosh hardcore, or screamo, or emo-core. Now hardcore is just a melting pot of all the sounds in one. its one big emotional, positive/negative, noisy vomit. its ok i guess. i liked how it was better in the late 90s early 00s.
quality hardcore bands: converge, bane, shai hulud, american nightmare, minor threat, gorilla biscuits, ten yard fight, joshua fit for battle, the now, 18 visions, forstella ford, hot cross, pg.99, discordence axis
