what does the -core suffix mean in the context of music?
-F
@Felthry generally a diminutive of "hardcore", like "horrorcore" usually means "horror-themed hardcore rap". Hardcore itself can mean a lot of stuff, it’s generally for more intense genres but it’s pretty hazy what it actually means
@Felthry it's kinda like.. a vibe, i think. like, at its core, it's built on a set framework
@Felthry Wiktionary hypothesizes without citation that it's a backformation from "hardcore"; at a guess, the implication is that they're committing intensely to ... whatever they're talking about
but I think mostly you have to learn every word separately
