(also known as synthcore or trancecore)
The way one dresses according to the (historical) period, is directly related to the notes one plays or listens to.
How it sounds
Like a group of teenagers with expensive electronic gadgets who do not know if they want to play electro-pop or metalcore and so they play it all together.
Like metalcore, that is, but with many samples and distortions and with a refrain that reminds me of pop for twelve years old or more correctly …
As a Japanese anime title song.
Why listen to it
Because it has nerve and freshness and sometimes very good riffs.
Why not
Because you are over 25 and you do not know what the hell this is and you do not want to know.
Where we meet it
North America, Europe, and East Asia
When did it start
The early ‘00s
Who are the pioneers

But also the British Enter Shikari with their second album “Common Dreads” of 2009, who, rising to high positions in the English charts, are responsible for the spread of the genre.

Red card
The target audience is mostly teenagers or people with prolonged adolescence as a supposedly wilder expression of K-pop & J-pop.

Have you seen any Asian pop bands? Eh, this along with electric guitars!
