Whats trancecore supposed to be? Surely it would just sound like happy hardcore?

That was Hixxy and Scott Brown whacking hard trance records up to +16%, so yes you're pretty spot on.

In the case of 'breakcore' it's cuz it's in the 'hardcore spectrum' of electronic music. Speed-core, industrial hard-core, terror(-core), etc. It's related to gabber and whatnot.

Same with grindcore, it's in the 'hardcore punk spectrum', like thrashcore, NY hardcore, etc.

And some people just randomly pick 'core' and add it to denote extremeity (horrorcore) or irony (slowcore, nerdcore, sadcore).

With -step, I think it's usually to show that it's related to London based sound system music. Hardstep/skullstep/2-step/dubstep etc.

*step is music for the steppers, right? Roots in Kingston rather than London, I think... though most of the individual scenes have been based in London since the 80s.

People should get over the fact that genres have stupid names. 'Rock & roll' and 'heavy metal' or fuck, 'hard bop' sound fucking stupid as well. We've just gotten used to their stupity.

And 'grindcore' sounds badass.

[wubstep]

Yeah, they're a tad excessive but if you know the history of each niche subgenre, they tend to make sense.

I only really know about the 'core' suffix in terms of hardcore punk and it's various offshoots, grindcore, metalcore, beatdown hardcore, deathcore etc... I used to be in a deathcore band actually *braces self for metal snobbery*

the london hardcore scene used to be quality, aint reached any shows in far too long

I think half the problem is kids giving new genre titles to things that have been around for ages to have some sort of identity.
Prime example drumstep.

Yeah mother FUCK your reasonable discussion about the etymology and history to genre names. JUST ACCEPT IT YOU PRICKS.

In fact, Bionics made a `dubcore` track in 2006 or something... it`s actually dubbed `90s hardcore so it`s not that silly of a moniker
