Korean Hardcore

Korean hardcore is an intense, visceral music genre that is a part of South Korea’s underground music scene, taking inspiration from the hardcore punk movement with its fast tempo, aggressive riffs, and emotionally charged vocals. This genre is known for its diy ethos, hard-hitting social and political lyrical themes, and the relentless energy in its live performances. Bands like GWAMEGI and The Kitsches deliver blistering, compact tracks that are both raw and melodically engaging, while groups like 99 Anger and Burn My Bridges interweave metallic elements, showcasing a grittier, more confrontational sound. The kinetic drive of CHAIN REACTION and the angular aggression from Slant further exemplify the diversity within Korean hardcore, which altogether creates a powerful outlet for expression and connection in the local Korean music community.
