tragicore 

A subset of the hardcore music genre. While genres such as crabcore focus more on chugging breakdowns and stances, tragicore involves more involving themes- minor keys, horns, violins, and depressing lyrics are crucial.

Johnny - "Dude, that band made me cry last night; totally tragicore."

Tragicrafting 

The uncontrollable urge to make "tribute" merchandise and put it on your Etsy store before the body gets cold.

"After Whitney Houston's death, I rushed to my color printer so that I could begin tragicrafting with some brand new and unique 'Whitney in Our Hearts' mugs."

tragicomical 

A form of political stupidity that produces such absurdly tragic consequences it evokes hysterical laughter in the masses.

The new Healthcare law is so tragicomical, I don't know whether to kill myself now or wait and let them do it for me.

Tragicrafting 

the act of slapping together some commemorative bullshit and putting it up for sale before the body gets cold. After all, it’s only by making money that the healing can begin.

When Whitney Houston and Davey Jones died, there was a lot of tragicrafting items for sale on Etsy.com.

Tragicle 

A good, short headline word to describe otherwise unexplainable acts of God that aren't so nice.

Just because the Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes, that doesn't mean he isn't always hard at work. I just think it's irresponsible for the press and Christians in general to cut God out of the picture when things don't go the way they'd like. I mean, think of all the tragicles involving airplanes alone.

Traincore 

A genre of music made to imitate the sound of a train going "chugga-chugga-CHOO-CHOO!" Because trains are pretty heavy machines, you know this is some pretty heavy music. The art of traincore has been passed done from metal band to metal band for roughly ten years, making it an ancient and prestigious tradition. Traincore is not for the weak of heart, and playing it requires mastering precise guitar techniques. Palm muting is done to imitate the sound of the train going "chugga-chugga" down the tracks, and the whistle of the whistle blowing and going "choo-choo" is imitated using pinch harmonics or slides. The last important trait of traincore is the breakdown where the song slows down. This represents the train grinding to a halt so it can refuel. During the late 2000s and early 2010s traincore was the most popular form of metal, but it has since fallen out of favor and now duckcore, which attempts to recreate the sound of the most majestic waterfowl quacking, is more popular.

Did you hear the latest album by Fire The Prostitute? It was so brutal, they're my favorite traincore band.
