A genre used to describe Mastodon's 2004 concept album, Leviathan, which is based on the story of Moby Dick.
Frustrated that they were unable to fit the album into existing genres, fans of the band coined the term to point out the inherent humor in dedicating a full-length metal album to the topic of a whale. The album can be most accurately described as a mix of heavy metal, metalcore, and progressive metal.

whalecore:
Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars, men
If you wish to prevail

When they couldn't find an accurate classification for Mastodon's "Leviathan", fans took hold of the cover art and thus defined it as whalecore.

Get the Whalecowophobia mug.A two-part masturbation move for males only. The first portion of the move is called the Whalecock. The process begins when a male takes his half-erect penis and inserts it into his own butthole. The phallus is then removed and smelled for arousal purposes. The cock is quickly placed back in the anus, and the male will proceed to ejaculate in his own butthole. This move is then followed by the Blowhole. The Blowhole begins as the male has just jizzed in his own asshole as a result of "Whalecocking." The masturbator will then proceed to fart at full power. The release of gas will cause the penis and fresh semen to fly out of the butthole in a sporadic and unpredictable manner often resulting in a poopy/cummy mess.
I can't believe your mom told us all that story about the time she caught you doing the Whalecock Blowhole to that Dane Cook video!
