poetic

the slang definition of 'poetic' is usually a male that wears cardigans, fitted pants and dresses quite nicely. This person is usually also well spoken. It is difficult to tell if someone 'poetic' is gay.

Usually this person comes out of the closet as gay in about a year... But at the time all you can call them is poetic, because it is hard to say if they ARE gay or not.

Not all well dressed, well spoken males are gay, but the ones that are have a certain swagger about them that yells 'not straight' but are they... gay?

men are poetic when their sexual preferences are questionable.

Jessica: ...

Lauren: Poetic looking.

Jessica: Yeah, look at his button up cardigan.

Lauren: And how he interacts with females.

Poetic Popcore

A genre of music that is often mistaken for emo by ignorant teeny boppers. Poetic popcore can often be classified as anything considered emo on MTV. Poetic popcore bands can often be found by the lyrics that are considered 'emotional' by the people who listen to them, but the lyrics are actually washed-up and laughable.

Lyrics such as:
"So slit my wrist and black my eyes"
and
"I'm not oh-fucking-kay"

are the standard for poetic pop-core lyrics.
"Senses Fail
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
Hawthorne Heights
Taking Back Sunday
The Used
...are all not emo, they're poetic popcore"
