Nicecore 

Nicecore is a form of entertainment showcasing from the protagonist interacting with other characters in a story with altruistic actions and a optimistic view on others and the world around them.

While they may already have or, end up doing so for others throughout the story, the protagonist inspires them to do the same: just be nice.

Being nice no matter what. Because we never know what someone else is going through. And if you can be that shining light for them - even in a brief moment; of holding the door for others, letting someone go ahead of you in a check out line who has fewer items than you, saying 'Thank you're with a smile, or even just a smile - those seemingly "insignificant" moments can change someone's day. They can change the world.

Even if someone doesn't reciprocate, don't let it change you. Move forward and continue on your mission to be the one to change someone's else day when the moment arises.

Altruism isn’t a passive force. Mister Rogers used to say, “Love isn’t a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like ‘struggle.’ To love someone is to drive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and right now.”
Mister Rogers' show is the inspiration behind the idea of nicecore in tv shows and movies. We wouldn't have movies like 'Paddington 2' if it hadn't been for his show.

noisecore 

A moniker used to define three very different types of music:

1. Noisecore is a synonym for noise rock, an extremely fast and volatile combination of punk rock and noise music. Examples include Lightning Bolt and Melt Banana.

2. Noisecore can refer to grindcore (an extreme combination of metal and punk) combined with noise music. This style focuses on speed and chaos rather than musicianship or structure. Examples include Anal Cunt and Gore Beyond Necropsy.

3. Noisecore is occasionally used to describe hardcore techno, an electronic music style that developed in the 1990's in New York, Rotterdam, and Newcastle. Examples include Anabolic Frolic and Ethos.

Noisecore is not related to any subgenre of metalcore, or metalcore itself. Some bands incorrectly referred to as noisecore such as Dillinger Escape Plan and Coalesce are not influenced by noise music and do not incorporate it into their respective sounds at all.

noisecore 

Contrary to what other entries say noisecore isn't a type of metal or experimental music it all. The genre definetly doesn't include DEP. Actually true noiscore is ridiculously fast, structure-free grindcore, with feedback, hateful lyrics and general disregard for musicianship. Often bands Sometimes noisecore bands write songs with structure, although they still retain all other elements of noisecore though. Noisecore is called that for a reason. Literally it is a genre devoted to making loud obnoxious and discordant sounds with absurd vocals and weird noises. Its hard to understand until you hear it for yourself. Songs usually range anywhere from several seconds to several minutes.

noisecore 

A genre of music that is often times confused with technical metalcore. Signified by it's blend of noise (music genre) and hardcore. The guitars are usually so muddy and distorted that you can't hear single notes that well. The bass (distorted like guitars) is often times a driving instrument unlike in other genres. The drums range from electronic to blastbeats to off time patterns, but the main focus of the genre is the guitars and bass, not drums or vocals. Altough it was only marginaly successful on the west coast of the U.S. in the mid to late 90s, it has influenced such acts as The Dillenger Escape Plan and Scarlet. There also tends to be a lot of samples and weird effects put on the music. Some well-known bands of the genre: Training For Utopia (broken-up), Coalesce (still active)

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
