Sasscore, also known as sass or spazzcore, is a subgenre of punk that melds the intensity of hardcore with a chaotic, experimental twist. It is characterized by frenetic tempos, discordant guitars, and an irreverent, often flamboyant approach to both performance and lyricism. The music is jagged, often employing unconventional song structures that favor abrupt transitions over traditional verse-chorus frameworks. Sasscore bands like The Locust and The Great Redneck Hope inject a sense of urgency and unpredictability into their sound, which is further accentuated by vociferous, emotive vocals that range from screams to spoken word, all delivered with a palpable sense of theatricality. The aggressive yet artful aesthetic of sasscore crafts a unique niche in the punk realm, one that embraces both the raw candor of hardcore and the avant-garde edges of post-hardcore expression.
