n. (kre-SHEN-do-kor)
Crescendocore is a umbrella term for a wide variety of musical genres. The majority of popular crescendocore lies in the post rock and shoegaze genres.
It's a joining of the word 'Crescendo' and the suffix '-core.' The latter does not imply a connection to Hardcore music, it just states that it is a term for a genre of music.
What crescendocore implies is a heavy emphasis the characteristic in music of a long tension and release in the form of a large dynamic change - that is; getting very loud. This usually happens very quickly and is also marked by changing tonal and duration structures.
Several well known crescendocore acts include:
-Sigur Ròs
-Godspeed You! Black Emperor
-Ludwig van Beethoven
-Flying Saucer Attack
-Slint
-Bark Psychosis

Get the Crashed the milk truck mug.A term used, usually in context with drugs or alcohol, that signifies some sort of positive state of mind or action. The Verb from (To crash it) Is usually associated with just basically being very, very intoxicated and doing something that, while intoxicated, seems much cooler than it really is. It can also be used to exclaim moments of joy or success. Ironically, the inflection of this term is the opposite of that usually associated with crashing a car or some other material object.
And in most cases, a physical "hoorah" is coupled with the phrase, which looks something like clapping your hands together then holding them at roughly shoulder's width (palms facing out) and making some sort of funny face. This can be even more so extenuated if one hand is simultaneously holding a lighter.

Get the We Crashed it mug.When at a live musical performance, the audience claps to a beat, but it sounds like a crescendo due to members of the audience being musically inept and thus unable to clap on beat. Found at most shitty bands performances for obvious reasons.
Jonathan: My girlfriend drug me to a Nickleback concert and the audience was crescendo clapping to all their shitty songs and it made it even worse than it already was!
Ron: Damn.
Ron: Damn.
