Hardcore is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged in the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. It is characterized by its fast tempo (usually around 160-200 beats per minute), aggressive and distorted sounds, and heavy use of breakbeats.

Hardcore music often incorporates elements of punk and metal, and is known for its intense, energetic sound and its political and social lyrics.

The origins of hardcore music can be traced back to the late 1980s, when DJs and producers in the UK began experimenting with breakbeats and sampling techniques

to create a new sound.

They drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including punk, industrial, and heavy metal, and began to incorporate these elements into their music.

Hardcore music quickly gained popularity in the UK and soon spread to other countries. By the early 1990s, the genre had evolved into a more melodic and complex sound, known as "gabber" or "happy hardcore", and it had a big following in the Netherlands.

Today, hardcore continues to evolve and be reinvented by new artists and producers. It remains a popular genre in the electronic dance music scene and continues to be heard in clubs and festivals around the world. It has also influence many other genres such as UK hardcore, frenchcore, breakcore and many more. Created with OpenAI 23.01.23
