Template:Under Construction 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 a certain 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.
Timeline of the development of Breakcore (1970-2000)
This section will examine the preceding genres that will ultimately lead to breakcore.
- Breakbeat & Chicago House(late 70s to late 80s)
- In the late 70s, niggers, such as the honorable DJ Kool Herc, began using samples of drum-breaks (hence, "break-beat") on turntables. This technique would set in motion a long chain of events that'll eventually culminate into what we call Breakcore Today. As Hip-hop attained international acclaim, so did Breakbeat. This also coincided with the fact that as sampling technology advanced, Break-beat became more accessible to produce. All of these factors made Breakbeat a global phenomenon and cultural mainstay of dance music around the world.
- Breakbeat Hardcore (late 80s to early 90s)
- Jungle (early 90s)
- Drum n' Bass (early 90s)
- Hardcore Techno (aka Hardcore) (early 90s)
- Digital Hardcore (early 90s)
- Although this genre of music was not a predecessor of Breakcore, it is what first spawned a sound that can be identified as Breakcore.
- Drill n' Bass (mid-90s)
- As Music Technology became more sophisticated in the mid-90s, so did Drum n' Bass. This lead to artists like Squarepusher and Aphex Twins to push the limits of what's possible with Drum n' Bass and sampler technology. This resulted in a zanier version of Drum n' Bass with complex, intricate sequences of chopped breaks. Thus Drill n' Bass was born
- Breakcore (late-90s)
- Ultimately, through the synthesis of Hardcore Techno and Drill n' Bass, Breakcore was brought into existence. Pioneered by experimental electronic musicians like Venetian Snares
