hardcore electrons

today we talked about valence electrons. i explained that valence electrons are those electrons that are found in the outermost energy level of an atom. any electrons that are not valence electrons are called "core" electrons. i then said, "but, if you're an electron that listens to municipal waste, you're what we call a hardcore electron." i then started laughing super hard and looked at my class. they weren't laughing. at all. someone said "is that a band?," and someone else yelled "of course it's a band." yes. yes it's a band. and they're going to fuck you up.
