Scenecore

Scenecore is a genre characterized by its frenetic, chaotic sound, often featuring breakneck drum patterns, distorted basslines, and ear-shattering synths. Emerging in the mid-2010s, scenecore evolved from the intersection of emo, hardcore, and electronic music, particularly within online communities. This era's key artists crafted a distinctive style marked by intense, screamed vocals and lyrics that often explored themes of alienation, anxiety, and digital disconnection. Scenecore's cultural significance lies in its reflection of the anxieties and disillusionments of Gen Z, as well as its democratization of music production through accessible software and online platforms. While drawing from emo and hardcore's emotional intensity, scenecore's incorporation of electronic elements and experimental production sets it apart, particularly in its use of glitchy, industrial textures and stuttering drum patterns. This genre's unapologetic, cathartic sound has resonated with a generation of young people seeking sonic expressions of their digital disillusionment.
