A term used to describe soppy, saccharine, generic, and wall-of-sound-ish adult contemporary cheese music, usually having vaguely Christian undertones. The genre itself originated in 2013, after the release of Hozier's "Take Me To Church", and rose to popularity in 2021 after Duncan Laurence released his song, "Arcade". It has since been used to define artists like Alex Warren, David Kusher, and Benson Boone. The term, however, was coined in 2025 by a Pitchfork critic known as Hannah Jocelyn.

Get the Epic Sad Guy Musicmug. Firstly, we need some definitions of how the word come to be.
Epic: Very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary.
Ism: A belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school
Epicalism is a word that means something is so epic that you believe it must be shared. Everything epic must be shared so it will be.

Get the Epic Griner Momentmug. The term used to describe when someone makes a supreme ass of themselves as a result of failing at a reasonably simple task. Because an 'epic fail' is such an immense fail, these people are often labled "Fail Whales."
trying to impress his baby son, a dad blew bubbles in his Pepsi through a straw then without warning it erupted into a fizzy lava shooting out of his snout at 1000 miles an hour. Everyone in the restaraunt laughed including a teen who point at him and said "Epic Fail Dude"! laughing he then added "What a total Fail Whale"
