bloggosphere

The world of blogs or the "bloggosphere" has become a major source of info dissemination and platform for criticism of pop culture, but certainly not limited to that. It is accessed mostly by the younger, technologically savvier computer generation or "technorati" but available to all.
In addition to campaigning in the major media, political candidates must now pay attention to the growing bloggosphere where much of the younger generation turns for its identity.

Blogel

n: blog+novel, however not either at the same time

b+n=~b+~n
b+n=~bn
bn=~bn

It was originally coined by a super awesome guy on Monday at 4:51pm on the 28th of September. However, another person decided she found the word very exciting and decided to use it. She was going to be charged for using it since she didn't have the rights, yet the super awesome guy let her slide...twice. By the third time she used the word "blogel", he decided to be really nice and gave her 50% of the rights to the word "blogel" at 11:45pm on Tuesday, the 29th of September. So now it means "when ever ANYONE in the WORLD!!! uses it we get like $5 each". So people of the world, go ahead and Blogel yourself all you want!!
"this isn't a blog or a novel it's a blogel "

blogger's disease

A sub-variant of Unwarranted Self Importance (USI) widely seen among the Internet-going population. Became common once everybody from your Grandma to your kindergarten teacher realized they could create a blog/Facebook page/YouTube channel where they could inflict their opinions on those unlucky enough to wander by with zero consequences or monetary cost.

In days past, the disease was restricted to ranting street preachers, and was limited by factors such as the price of soap-boxes and copy paper, and the generally low levels of give a shit present in the pre-Internet population

Symptoms consist of:
1) assuming that people on the Internet like you and the things you say, when most are actually indifferent at best
2) projecting your narrow interests on to people who don't share them, then confusing their bored silence for approval
3) producing content which focuses mostly on shallow appeals for approval, instead of actually informing, challenging or entertaining
4) cultivating a small clique of like-minded Internet goers, which (despite representing a microscopic fraction of the population as a whole) you then cite as proof that you're "kind of a big deal"

Treatment includes:
1) deleting the offending Facebook/YouTube/blog pages
2) re-connecting with real life friends and family over shared activities
3) rediscovering that nobody on the Internet really cares that much about your life, your cat, or what you had for dinner today (even the people that say they do)
Doctor: "Yes, I was afraid of this...it's Blogger's Disease. And a bad case, too. I've seen it a hundred times."
Patient: "My God, is there any cure?"
Doctor: "Yes there is... but I'm afraid you won't like it. It might require you to be less of a douche. It may require you to interact with the physical world. Are you prepared to handle it?
Patient: "Whatever it takes, Doctor."
Doctor: *smashes laptop to pieces with a hammer*

Blogcore

Blogcore is music that is the focus of the myriad of independent music blogs on the internet.

Independent music blogs attempt to create an alternative to the mainstream media outlets, and instead intentionally reject major label artists in favour of relatively unknown musicians, often with an air of superiority in their tone.

The irony is that the vast majority of independent music can be classified as mildly experimental, superficial lo-fi indie rock inflected with tokenistic, often ironic use of electronic instruments.

Where the independent music blogs had attempted to promote a wealth of innovative musical creativity, the end was result is a stagnant scene of sound-a-likes that offer little to no variation between each band, and therefore may be classified under the single genre of Blogcore.

Blogcore is popular music amongst the Hipster subculture and also the burgeoning Blogbaby subculture.
Pitchfork Media recommend the following Blogcore acts:

Animal Collective
Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah
Ok, Go!
Arcade Fire
etc etc
