Apocalyptican

Share definition Flag
A person who believes so strongly in the apocalypse of 2012, that they totally throw their lives away to whatever thinking that even trying is to no avail towards a happy, "normal" life.

Teenage apocalypticans usually drop out, become assholes towards other people, or just do whatever they please at an attempt to be happy thinking their lives are going to end soon anyway.

But positive apocalypticans usually try to make haste with their "short" lives and try to do good in the world, like trying to help the environment, or protest the war, or just try to be a good person altogether.
John tries to be the best person he could be, he's a vegetarian, he cares for the environment, and he's really friendly, and at the same time, Mathew is just sitting in class staring at the ceiling while he waits impatiently for the bell to ring so he can get out and hang with his friends at the mall, both very different, but they're both apocalypticans.

The often ignored, but blatantly obvious, common theme that ultimately defines all prophetic doomsday predictions: Utter failure.
How many centuries would you stand waiting for a bus to stop and pick you up, just because some misguided bronze-age idiots told you it was 'coming soon'? Substitute saviour for bus and accept the apocalyptifail for what it is.

Finnish cello metal band with four cello players and a drumer.
They started by doing Mettalica covers.
They invited many known people to sing their song like Ville Valo (HIM), Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace), Lauri Ylönen (The Rasmus) and many more.
Anyway, they are just awesome :)
"Path", "Somewhere around nothin", "I don't care", "Life Burns", "Bittersweet", "I'm not Jesus" are a some os their best songs ^^
"Man, Apocalyptica rules!"

Apocalyptic folk 

Share definition Flag
Apocalyptic folk ( Neo folk, Uber folk,Folk noir )is a term and phrase employed to describe a genre of folk-music which deals with dark themes of decay, decline, and/or destruction of Western civilizations foundations. This genre of music often, but not always has a underlying social philosophy. Other terms for Apocalyptic-Folk that have been applied to this genre of music are Folk-Noir, Uber-folk, and Neo-Folk. All of these terms are used to distinguish it from the protest-folk of the 1960s and seventies. much. if not all which had social messages of the political left and its a various protestings. Apocalyptic folk see's the world as a place notlong to last in any semblance which previously or currently has been known. It has a deceidly mellenialism to much of it's messages. Often occult themes, ecological themes, right-wing and nationalist themes, and themes of western mythology and legends are also found or invoked in this genre.
Apocalyptic Folk Bands such as Changes, Death in June, Current 93, Sol Invectus and others of this musical type probably best exemplify the genre. Prophecy, a German based label has recently ( 2005 ) released a compendium of such music and it's roots. It is a 4 CD compilation called " Looking For Europe ", the title of which is taken from a key phrase from the lyrics of a ballad ( of the same name ) written by Tony Wakeford of the band Sol Invictus.
The compilation comes with a liner notes book of 100 pages
half in German and half translated into English which discusses such groups and strives to define the genre's attributes and themes. There is also a full length book
( German language ) from which the liner notes draw their source.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
