Accelerative Disruptionism

A school of thought aiming to accelerate the technologization of the human environment actively and aggressively replaces any aspect, sometimes in a very personal way and other times by influencing other people's lives. According to the theory, this is because human civilization is lagging and not as mature as it should be by now.

There are multiple possible motivations for such a movement:

1. Make the future look like the future: Cool, clean and efficiant.
2. Destroying old institutions or companies by introducing changes to spending habit.
3. Enhancing life conditions and the environment using technology.

For all practical purposes, it plans to replace aspects of life that are obsolete, mostly material.
Person 1: Hey, I finally installed Linux on my PC.
Person 2: That's quite an Accelerative Disruptionism move.
Person 1: I truly believe that Open-Source is the future, even if it takes 100 years.

Person 1: The government will raze 1 square kilometer of the old neighborhood to build a new super modern one with a light rail station.
Person 2: Sheesh...

Accelerant Echo

The emotional after‑effect of someone who used to create instability in your life. They’re gone, but your body still reacts to reminders of them as if the chaos is still happening.
She’s been out of that relationship for months, but her Accelerant Echo fires the second someone raises their voice — even if it isn’t directed at her.

Accelerationcore

a genre adjacent to speedcore, not defined by its sound, but rather its structure. The focus is on the use of tempo acceleration (whether it be gradual or incremental), causing the song's tempo (and usually intensity) to increase over time. Songs in this genre often feature repetition of previous musical parts, but played faster (and often louder) than they were previously in the song, in order to emulate a sense of stress, panic and urgency.

some examples: "Sunny day" from Vib Ribbon, "Remix 8" from Rhythm Heaven DS, "Rush E", "kalinka", "In the hall of the mountain king"
"Dude, I know it starts slow, but it's just accelerationcore, trust me you'll feel whipped by the time it's over"

California Acceleration Project

An Anti-Mathematics lobbying group which believes people of color are incapable of passing mathematics, and convinced the state legislature to ban mathematics at California community colleges by "accelerating" all students into Statistics.

Also known as CAP.
Wow, 100% of State Legislators voted to approve AB-705? Don't they know that the California Acceleration Project used doctored statistics from the RP Group to promote this super racist bill? It's going to set back a generation of students.
