Crossover Grime

A style of music oftentimes revered by both the gringle and the scene subculture. It is a style of rock/metal that utilizes metalcore qualities, such as the breakdown and the high scream. All vocals are either screamed or cleanly sung in a higher pitch. It is a direct descendant of hardcore metal and emo. Typical bands of this genre are Parkway Drive, A Day To Remember, Pierce the Veil, Asking Alexandria, Fall of Troy, and Arsonists Get All The Girls.

Sound: something like the bastard child of emo and metalcore.

Image: Clashing and vibrant colors and patterns with a sometimes cartoonish overtone. Logos of Crossover Grime bands share a similar motif and can be recognized easily when compared.

Etymology: "Crossover," referring to the bridge between emo and metal + "grime," referring to blatant musical similarities it shares with grimecore.
Greg: I was in Hot Topic the other day and all the shirts there are marked by the staple of Crossover Grime bands, that bright orange logo in strange font on purple a purple background, with a picture of like a fucking rabbit. I don't see the appeal.

Crossover Value

When speaking about music that has been remixed from one genre to another, it refers to the amount of potential the new remix has in pulling fans from the original genre base.
A Britney Spears track (primarily pop) is remixed from it's original genre to dubstep. The crossover value of the remix relates to how many people would like or be interested in the dubstep version because they know the original track.

DJs can sometimes get people interested in new genres by playing remixes of popular tracks they know, allowing them to relate to the music and the lyrics since they are familiar to the listener. The ability a remix has to pull in listeners from its original genre can be referred to as the 'crossover value' of the track

Crossover kids

Crossover kids are the people on youtube who are similar to logo kids, except their main content is crossover edits.
They usually make remakes of movies or cartoons dubbing them “parodies” when in fact it is just a loose shot for shot remake only with the original cast swapped with characters from other movies, or they make edits of scenes usually chase scenes or characters screaming and editing in other characters to join them in the scene as if they were there.
This trend has been known to be running ever since the early days of the internet and is popular amongst autistic people despite these content not made by them, some of the best known youtubers in this genre are JB Eagle, Wallace and Gromit Forever, Uranimated18, TheCartoonMan12, and many UTTP users.
I know these so called crossovers were first just made for fanfiction purposes to make the fanbase laugh, but I think it is going on the same level as how the logo effects and grounded videos are doing amongst the kid youtubers.
I don’t understand how this is not being discussed a lot, but this has a pretty interesting backstory to tell.
Plus my friend who is just 7 years old is a part of the crossover kids and he loves doing cast swap remakes of Disney movies on this strange website called the Parody wiki which is home to a lot of that.

friend crossover

Friend crossover is when one friend, introduces another friend to one of her other friends. Then, the two introduced friends, become friends = friend crossover. It can cause extreme angst with the friend who made the introduction, because now they are left at home while her former friends have crossed-over and excluded her from fancy parties and are now new besties!
Emily: I wish I never introduced Gretta to Mikayla. Now they are going to Zach's party together, and didn't even bother to invite me.
Cici: You should have known better - friend crossover never works out! Shoulda' never introduced!

Killer Crossover

When a chick is giving two guys a ski job (sitting in between them, jerking them both off) then crosses her arms so she switches the hand she is using on each guy and continues to jerk them off.
Me and my buddy were getting a ski job from this chick last night and then she dropped a killer crossover on us.
