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

The act of waking up from a nap just in time to get in bed on your regular schedule.
If you regularly go to bed at 11:00pm, it would be like taking a nap from 7:30-11:00 waking up just in time to go to bed. And thats pulling a crossover in a nutshell.

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

When two people that actually shouldn’t know each other, because there is something about them that denies the fact that they could, well, when you see they meeting and talking, or just being near the same person, or stuff like this, appears in you a sensation that can be happiness, or sadness, or anger, or consternation, or surprise, it depends on the type of people that is included in the crossover.
so in this case you are supposed to scream CROSSOVER.

Crossover

An SUV made for poseur/poseuse
Crossover is not real SUV, since it didn't built on heavy-duty body-on-frame, therefore it will be a piece of shit for offroading
