New Breakcore is (Still) Badass The internet’s most undefinable genre just got more undefinable.

"[Contemporary breakcore has] incorporated so many disparate genres + sounds, including shoegaze, jazz, and punk, that it barely sounds like it did in its earliest days. 'Whether we like it or not, breakcore is going toβ€”and already hasβ€”come to mean something different from what it originally was.'"

Normalize calling the new breakcore Brakebrakecore

interesting seeing this talk about the other side of the breakcore scene trying to bring back the old style, but the divide always felt sickening to me. i want to see people do their own thing and make something new, and forcing old sounds back only makes things worse.

Skull Crusher, by Status: Expunged 9 track album

September 12: Status: Expunged - Skull Crusher (2025)

Read a Bandcamp guide to current breakcore, opened a few tabs, and this one unapologetically slaps. When the slower, longer closing tracks is one of the best songs, that's an excellent sign.
