Description

Speedcore is an extreme subgenre of hardcore techno characterized by relentlessly fast tempos, typically exceeding 300 BPM, with aggressive, distorted kick drums and chaotic sound design. Originating in the early 1990s European underground rave scene, it pushes electronic music to its physical limits, often incorporating elements of noise, breakcore, and industrial music. The genre appeals to listeners seeking intense, adrenaline-fueled sonic experiences that challenge conventional notions of rhythm and musicality.
