defrag

verb
1. To half-smoke a weak 100mm cigarette, in order to let the other half relax and collect flavour. Stems from half-smoking a fag, expecting your hard-drive to defragment faster, then putting it out to smoke it the rest when you come back.

2. To relax, chill, mellow out.

1. I'm defragging that Du Maurier. Don't touch it.

2. Ah, sit down and defrag. You look awful.

cigarette

Tobacco rolled tightly in paper, more often than not with a filter in the back end. Yes, they're harmful and expensive, but who wants to be rolling in a few extra hundred dollars when they're 85, anyway? My favourites are Du Maurier Special Mild and Peter Jackson, although Camel Lights will do in a pinch.

Ah, fuck, I've only got my wish smoke left. Can't split it.

wish smoke

The first cigarette in a pack, which you flip filter-down and put it back in the pack. Smoked as the last in the pack, at which point you make a wish. Invalid if you burn up the front of the filter, put it out before it's time or split it with someone.

Aaah, that was a nice wish smoke. Cross your fingers that I get laid tonight.

emocore

What used to happen to creative hardcore punk musicians when they got sick of thrashing around and destroying the stage. Emotional lyrics, "DC"-sound, with less strain and gravel thrown into the vocals. Well, that was when it started in the mid-80's.

Nearly died during the mid-90's, but had a revival in the late 90's and early 2000's, especially with At The Drive-In's "Relationship of Command" and "In/Casino/Out". ATDI explored thier hardcore punk roots, with occasionally strained vocals and screaming, while sticking mostly to the DC sound and high register singing of emocore.

Further extrapolation of these hardcore and hardcore punk roots back into emocore leads to music such as Alexisonfire, Thursday and EP-era Saosin. These incorporate extensive use of screaming and hardcore-styled riffs, as well as soft, twinkly, DC-sounding moments. Many argue whether such bands are emocore, post hardcore or screamo, but my scene refers to them as second-wave emocore, while first-wave emocore died with At The Drive-In.

"All these south-Ontario emocore bands sound more and more like screamo to me." CORRECT

"Alexisonfire used to be screamo, but 'Watch Out!' is definately second-wave emocore." CORRECT

"The Used aren't pop, they're emocore!" INCORRECT

skater

One who rides a skateboard. Amount of skill is arguable, although generally being able rough out a 90 turn qualifies you. Being a skater has nothing to do with fashion, taste in music, sexual preference, manner of speaking or any of that. If you skate, you're a skater. If you dress skate, but can't, you're a poser. If you don't dress skate and don't skate, hell, you might just be normal.

Wow, check out that hot skater! Why is he wearing Adidas?
