serialism 

By the Late Romantic period music had become so bad and so long that it was decided it was no longer to be left in the hands of people (prone to emotional outburst roughly akin to public masturbation), and the responsibility was to be passed to maths. This was because numbers don’t have feelings and are less likely to harbor delusions of grandeur.
"I just heard Gurre-Lieder, What the f*ck was that? That's a year of my life I'll never see again. Perhaps serialism will be shorter and make more sence"

Serialistic 

Being Serious and Realistic at the same time

Serialism 

A pointlessly painful way for intellectuals to pretend that they can write so-called music. Enjoyed by people who, for instance, place bits of cow turd onto the end of a stick and hang it above their mantelpiece, asserting that it is a metaphor for existentialism in Barnsley.
Serialism is painful rubbish.

spiralism 

Spiralism is for those who have been enlightened by the Sacred Spiral over Norway. We are those that believe in the magick that the spiral wields. Only we can save the Spiral from the grips of the evil Bermuda Triangle. Following the words of our prophet ALEX is the only path to salvation.

serialism 

One of the worst ideas in classical music (the other being minimalism), serialism takes the most mechanical form of atonality, dodecaphony and bases not just pitches, but dynamics, register, and rhythm on rows that the composer inverts and manipulates to create so-called music. It's like writing a book by taking a sentence and rearranging the letters into every possible way except the one that makes any sense.

The result is a chaotic, soulless mess that sounds like two cats clawing eachother to death. Serialism requires little real talent since no matter how you do it, the result will always sound the pretty much the same. It is not unreasonable to speculate that serialism was invented by composers who had no real ability or skill and needed a way to cover that fact up. Serialism is a disgrace to classical music and makes even rap sound great in comparison.
Only terrible composers like Pierre Boulez bother with serialism.

phone serialism 

The phenomenon of two or more telephones in an office or at home ringing at, or nearly at, the same time with irritatingly dissonant musical intervals such as seconds and augmented fourths. The term "serialism" is a musical term meaning the technique whereby pitches from a tonal series, or row, are used to form a work, usually atonal, emphasizing said series.
Oh, man, it's really getting busy in the office right now. There's phone serialism going on now---the phones are ringing off the hook!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
