shitcore

while it’s popular to refer to various commercial nu metal and emo bands (as well as some non-commercial punk bands) as sh-tcore, sh-tcore as a genre is actually something quite different. it’s a pretty self-deprecating and no-fi form of underground music (some of the only real underground music there is currently) that is deliberately awful and humorously pathetic, often created with (or with the help of) sh-tty computer programs. there are actually subgenres within sh-tcore, ranging from sh-tgrind to sh-t rap even, and the lyrics are often obsessed with coprophilia, gay s-x, murder, suicide, pedophilia, hitler, and anything else that can be blatantly offensive, stupid, politically incorrect, or all-around gross.
examples of sh-tcore include 50 ways to kill me, suicidal rap orgy, hitlerb-ttsecks, and kitten felcher (of which i am a member myself — good for me, i get an air biscuit).
a genre of music, closely related to nu-metal. it is difficult to objectively describe this genre without sounding like a complete c-ck-wad, so it is probably better to just list some band names instead.
sh-tcore bands:
linkin park
slipknot
papa roach
(insert name of band that is a corporate piece of sh-t designed by some office dwelling record company executive to appeal to your average teenage idiot who is oblivious to what real music is.)
a term used to describe a large variety of modern hardcore/metalcore/deathcore bands who put more thought into t-shirt slogans than they do to a whole alb-m’s worth of music. such bands may have whole alb-ms composed entirely of open note/1st fret breakdowns, rarely venturing from the lowest 2 strings except to emit a discordant screech on the highest 2 strings (see emmure). these bands are more concerned with appearing “swag” or “hench” than writing an interesting song or two, with the only memorable part of a sh-tcore song being a violent/misogynistic threat or challenge yelled during a brief pause, eg; f-ck you, die sl-t, f-cking die you sl-t, etc. this phrase will usually appear on the band’s merch interspersed with one or more uses of the word “f-cking” to highlight how “f-cking” serious they are about whatever it was they said. sh-tcore bands often confuse excessively low tunings and mashing of open strings for heaviness or talent, often employing 7 or 8 string guitars for low tunings. it should be noted though that said bands often only use these for bragging purposes to their teenage fans, as they only ever use 2 or 3 strings for 99% of their playing. sh-tcore is what happens when a mediocre band meets a stupid audience and has a large following all over the world.
