darkcore

Where it comes from

From dark + -core, perhaps from the 1993 track Darkcore by Two Dark Troopers, released on Basement Records.

noun

  1. uncountable A subgenre of jungle music with morbid, horror-based themes. Of course, even amid the beeps and beats good old guitar music never went away, and there are plenty of indie, punk and alternative bands gigging to appreciative audiences, as well as the resolutely grim Gothic and darkcore fringe.
