petalcore 

A genre influenced by the 2021 album "Nurture" by Porter Robinson, as how the genre is called "post-nurture". Often involves granulated nature samples and soothing calm orchestra. The idea of this genre is to give a dreamlike sensation to the listeners as if they were out in the nature. This genre can also be called by other names such as botanica, post-electronica, or neo-indie.

Metalcore 

Metalcore is a genre that has been around since the eighties but not totally popularized until the mid 90's with bands such as Unearth, the modern forerunners in the genre. It includes a mixture of hardcore punk and heavy metal and uses generally two guitarists, a bassist and double kick drums for the instrumentals. Many bands use more than one singer, one generally for more melodic lines and the other, lead singer, who carries many of the vocal burden and usually "screams".
Metalcore bands include: 36 Crazyfists, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Bloodsimple, Diecast, God Forbid, Haste The Day, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Norma Jean, Still Remains, Unearth, Walls of Jericho.

pedalcore 

My imaginary word for a healthy blend of punk, metal and hardcore that one should have in their musical diet. Not called petalcore because honestly pedalcore sounds better and represents the speed that these three genres contain.

Pedalcore people are smart enough not to be genre specific in what they listen to...it's rock! ENJOY!
Pedalcore kids are smart enough to respect others in their quest for musical enlightenment.

metalcore 

A genre of music that had began in the late 80s/early 90s. Originally combining elements of metal and hardcore, it has now evolved into a dime-a-dozen plethora of bands that sound exactly the same. New school metalcore bands borrow heavily from melodic European death metal combined with stolen Slayer riffs and vocals ranging from annoying screams to cupped-mike growls. Band names are usually longer than the songtitles (i.e. Between The Buried And Me, Every Time I Die, etc). Mostly caters to mallrat teens who are glued to Facebook, shop at Hot Topic, wear skinny jeans, skateboard, and play Call Of Duty all day long.
Old school metalcore: Insult II Injury, Merauder, Into Another

New school metalcore: Bullet For My Valentine, As I Lay Dying, All That Remains

metalcore kid 

A kid who listens to metalcore. Band shirts, bandanas, faded jeans, long hair and Chuck Taylor's would be typical to wear. They enjoy hardcore dancing and going to shows. They're a little slow when it comes to music; as in, not cutting-edge. Usually, they don't limit themselves as to how much of their personality they choose to flaunt. They aren't emo, scene, or hardcore kids. They're metalcore kids.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
