"grind" and "core" music

[bigtimecow]

i've noticed lately that almost any thing, any word, with either the word "grind" or "core" added to it can be a style of music. for example, some bands genre was called south africore.

how many can you come up with?

(this is gay )

lack of interest is awesome

I find that almost any form of music with the term "core" in it is very gay.

HARDCORE OR AS THE STRAIGHT EDGE EMO KIDS CALL IT HERE "hXc"

[Sicktodeathmx]

Don't forget the new addition of Emo!
Everyone has either a core or emo.

[Bobo Adobo]

I don't have a Core or a Emo.

...anyways why would you call a genre of Music "Emotional". What kind of music isn't emotional?

[PILLOWFIGHT]

SCREAMOS THE NEW EMO :O

[Helm]

Yes exactly. Hm. Although one could say that some industrial music is not - by intent - emotional...

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Sadcore and Slowcore are the best. :/

Emo has like really slow parts and then it gets harder, then back to slow again or something. And then they cry about their girlfriend or something.

I saw a blurb about a band playing at my university describing them as "frost-core"

[liquidstatik]

What the hell is frost-core?

its all the same... grind and core are bassically describing parts in music. the "core" part describes that the music has breakdowns... which came from crust. and "grind" usually applies to having blast beats or mettalized punk riffs.

bouncy breakdowns. There are breakdowns that sound like someone twisted your spine around and kicked you in the head for good measure and there's nothing 'core' about them.

Pyorrea, you couldn't be farther from the truth.

The suffix "core" denotes that the music has a root in hardcore, which could also mean quite a few things, depending on your look of the underground music scene. Some refer to hardcore as agressive punk rock, there's a form of crust music which those kids refer to as hardcore (Tragedy, etc) , and then you have the hardcore scene which is too much to get into right now.

Placing the term "core" on something does not mean it has "breakdowns." And breakdowns were not invented in the crust genre of music. It came from 80s hardcore, and evolved into a shitload of meanings depending on what part of the "scene" you fall into.

[Perndog]

So what's a breakdown in popular music? Obviously not the same thing it is in jazz...enlighten me.

[Helm]

Going into Half speed on the snare (the snare sets the speed of the song, obviously, so it sounds like they're slowing down), lots of tom-work on the drums while the guitarist engage into downstroked chord simplicity and the singer does his bit with jumping around and passing the mike or something. It's a stupid concept because in most hardcore music, playing "fast" and then doing your "breakdown" is as far as their knowledge and application of dynamics goes.

[Darko]

Yet, it's a tried and true formula.

If you're looking at more punk rock oriented music, like 80s styled hardcore, or what the crusties like to call hardcore, a breakdown is exactly what Helm described. But this kind of part is refered to as a "Two Step" to new school hardcore tough guys. This is the part where you see people picking up change or doing a dance that is almost identical to skanking, but they call it a two-step because it sounds tougher that way.

A breakdown in the hardcore scene is usually the most rhymatic, punchy parts of a song. Usually done via open chord muting. They're simplistic and usually easy to play, but they are very energetic and get crowds moving.
