Breakcore is a genre of electronic music characterized by it's use of complex, intricate sequences of chopped breaks (this is what breakcore is primarily known for), a wide palette of samples and textures, and hardcore, industrial-sounding elements played at an extremely high tempo (190-300 BPM). What was a once an honorable genre enjoyed by autists, oldtroons, and connoisseurs of electronic music is now co-opted by Foids and Normgroids because Sewerslvt popularized an inoffensive, neutered version of """""""""Breakcore"""""""" that's palatable for normies.

The History of Breakcore

Breakcore emerged out of the underground music scene in the mid-to-late 90s. It is a synthesis of Jungle, IDM, Drum n' Bass, and hardcore techno and a direct evolution of Drill n' Bass.
