Speedcore

Description

Speedcore is an aggressive and fast-paced subgenre of hardcore techno, characterized by its extremely high tempo, often exceeding 300 beats per minute. It typically features distorted kick drums, frenetic rhythms, and an intense, chaotic sound.

History

Speedcore emerged in the early 1990s as an offshoot of hardcore techno. It developed in Europe, particularly in countries like Germany and the Netherlands, where producers pushed the boundaries of tempo and intensity. The genre gained a cult following for its extreme sound and became a staple in underground rave scenes.
