What is hard dump?
A hard dump, as opposed to a soft dump, is when a partner suddenly severs ties with his/her partner. It is not uncommon to find this style breakup in today’s fast-paced, instant gratification culture. Contrary to popular belief, this breakup practice can be used in any relationship from pseudo to factual. A hard dump is almost always associated with phrases such as “I think you’re a really great person” or “I hope we can still be friends” and the all-time favorite “I know you’ll find someone as amazing as you are”
Can you believe how Brad hard dumped Angelina? I heard he did it via text, too. Ouchhh

Hard dump - what is it?
A negative term for a release by an electronic musician, indicating that it is of mediocre quality. The word refers to the fact that many electronic musicians keep unreleased demos on their hard drives, and suggests that a new release is little more than a "dump" of some older, inferior tracks. The accusation is often used in the case of albums that appear to have been released in a hurry, as a stop-gap, or to fulfill a contractual obligation.
When Aphex Twin released the double-album Drukqs in 2001, many critics, noticing the varying quality and uneven sequencing of the release, accused him of putting out a hard drive dump to fulfill contractual obligations with Warp Records. Others hailed it as his masterpiece.
