Indiecore 

Indiecore is not only a style, but is also a music genre. Indiecore is a blend of Hardcore and Indie music. The term Hardcore has been changed immensely since its original meaning. Hardcore was originally a genre created by bands such as Bad Brains and Minor Threat and it was influenced by fast abrasive punk rock. Indie technically has no definition besides the fact that it is the abbreviation for independent. Indie was just a genre created to describe music that you can't and don't want to put a specific label on. The style of Indiecore is very similar to the style of Scene, in ways in which they wear tight pants and band merch. Indiecore is also different from Scene, because they usually don't have choppy hair and they are proud of their natural hair color and don't dye their hair. Indiecore kids are very supportive of local music, and its practically all they listen too.
Scene Boy: What kind of music is this? I can't tell if I like it.
Scene Girl: It's a blend of indie and hardcore, I thinks its called Indiecore. It's confusing.

indie cred

Indie cred has a lot to do with the independent rock movement. The more rad bands you know and have seen in concert, the cooler you are.
Indie kid: I saw Mogwai last night!
Indie kid 2: I saw them like five months ago, around the time I saw the Islands.
Indie kid: Next week I should be getting those +/- tickets I ordered.
Indie kid 2: Ahhh I'm so jealous!

And assuming people heard you, you might get more indie cred, and other indie kids think you're cooler.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
