Based off of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=791187) which I didn’t post in because it’s sort of the opposite.

So about a year ago I went to a metalcore\* show, and one of the bands was Like Moths To Flames, but unfortunately, their “clean singer”\*\* had a non functional mic. But I was close enough that on the breakdowns I could still hear him sing.

They played their [best song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEbXnrPcBGU) and the end was just the clean singer singing. Due to the mic being cut out, I couldn’t hear the singer singer very well. I also couldn’t hear everyone singing along with him very well. I couldn’t hear myself singing very well. _Everyone was singing at once, and the voice was coming from everyone at once. The singer, the crowd, and myself all fused together in one voice_. Woah, dude.

\*Heavy metal fused with melodic hardcore punk with sometimes some emo influence.

\*\*They sometimes have two singers, one to growl/scream and another to actually sing.

Recently I called the cheeseburger at Saint Dinette transcendent.

I suspect it isn't the same thing, but people don't use the word often.

Baseball transcends mere sport. It is the essence of the universe. Just watching a game, or even reading about it, is transcendental.

I am planning to have all my teeth pulled out. Then I will transcend dental experience.
