| A Plus + | Originated in the [[eBay]] feedback system … Originated in the [[eBay]] feedback system which is limited to 80 characters generally found in the form of '''"A+++ EBAYER!!!1!

Appropriately, the term is based on the primary and secondary school letter grade system (A, B, C, D, F), wherein a grade of "A" is considered "excellent", and "A+" denotes a grade marginally better than an "A". Teachers often give their students an A+ in an attempt to get them to become [[trying too hard|overachievers]] and to fulfil the dreams they never could themselves. In many European countries grades are given on a scale from 4 to 10, so Europeans are more likely to say "10+" rather than "A+."

'''Crabcore''' is one of those confusing sub-genres that has drawn the ire of forums and music critics, with the name of the genre itself originating in a now-lost thread on a heavy metal forum, in which the [[OP]] and various other posters mocked the band Attack Attack! for their video for ''Stick Stickly''.
