Bubble Team

A "bubble team" is a sports team on the borderline of qualifying for a major tournament. In this context, "bubble" refers to the teams that are already in the tournament, and the teams close to making it but not yet guaranteed entry are the bubble teams. And the bubble teams' inclusion in the tournament largely depends on their performance in the final games of the regular season or conference tournaments.

Sweep

In sports, a "sweep" happens when one team wins all the games in a series (typically in the playoffs), leaving its opponent with no victories. For example, if a team wins a best-of-seven series 4–0, they've completed a sweep. The term comes from the idea of one team "sweeping away" the competition without giving them a chance to win.

emocore

A portmanteau that mashes "emotional" and "hardcore" together to describe the subset of punk rock where feelings are louder than the guitars. This mid-'80s genre evolution brought introspective lyrics and dramatic aesthetics to the mosh pit. Essentially, it's hardcore punk that's not afraid to cry in the corner of a venue.
