Horrorcore is a subgenre of hip-hop that combines hardcore rap with horror-themed lyrics, often featuring dark and macabre storytelling. The content typically delves into violent, ghastly, and taboo subjects, evoking imagery that ranges from psychologically disturbing tales to graphic depictions of supernatural elements and gruesome crimes, not unlike the narratives in horror films. Musically, it can vary from raw, lo-fi beats to highly produced tracks that incorporate eerie sound effects and samples reminiscent of horror movie scores. Horrorcore artists exploit this fusion of shock lyrics and intense rhythms to not only push the boundaries of traditional hip-hop but to create a niche that appeals to fans of both the musical and the macabre.
