Svensk HorrorCore

Vad är "kriterierna" för att man kan kalla sig horrorcore? Så vidriga texter som möjligt? Speciell rap? Om du har lust så får du gärna ge lite info om genren för oss som inte är så insatta..

BearC: What is HorrorCore?

An ongoing battle for sometime now on the message boards has been "What exactly is horrorcore music?" While peoples opinions on the matter are broad, the definition is fairly simple if you just look at what the word is made up of:

"Horror" + "Core" = Horrorcore (duh?)

The dictionary defines "horror" as:

hor•ror Pronunciation Key (hôrr, hr-)
1. An intense, painful feeling of repugnance and fear. See Synonyms at fear.
2. Intense dislike; abhorrence.
3. A cause of horror.
4. Informal. Something unpleasant, ugly, or disagreeable: That hat is a horror.
5. horrors Informal. Intense nervous depression or anxiety.

In a nutshell, horror draws on the basic human emotions such as fear, terror, and dread. Like watching a horror movie that is freakin' you out and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up or sends chills down your spine. It's the same principle in music -- the subject matter is supposed to be morbid, scary, and similar to stuff you would see in horror movies.

The dictionary defines "core" as:

core Pronunciation Key (kôr, kr)
1. The hard or fibrous central part of certain fruits, such as the apple or pear, containing the seeds.
2. The central or innermost part: the hard elastic core of a baseball; a rod with a hollow core.
3. The basic or most important part; the essence: a small core of dedicated supporters; the core of the problem.

These days, horrorcore is not always referred to as rap music. The internet is filled with many websites that refer to gothic or dark metal as horrorcore as well. This is by no means incorrect because horror metal music does fall within the means of the horrorcore definition. The dispute of horrorcore being rap or metal is simply in the eyes of the fan. That's why many people refer to it as "horror rap" or "horror metal" to be specific on what type of music it actually is. Just to reiterate, horrorcore can be just about ANYTHING, it does not have to be rap. Horrorcore is also taken to be a derivative of the word "hardcore" which is an ADJECTIVE not a NOUN. It's simply a way to describe ANY form of music. Yes it originated with rap, but has since transitioned over into other genres.

"That's Devil Music"
To clear the air on the whole satanic issue: Many people have the misconception that horrorcore music is nothing more than the devil playing with a bass machine in hell, manufacturing the CDs in Purgatory, and distributing them to the masses through the Internet. That couldn't be farther from the truth. The devil uses ProTools, manufactures them through DiskFactory, and sells them through HorrorCore.com. :) Seriously though, to reiterate was said previously stated, horrorcore is nothing more than a horror movie without the visual aspect. When someone watches the Excorist they are less lightly to label that movie as satanic, whereas that same person will quickly label Tech N9ne, KGP, or Bedlam as satanic. Why? The world may never know. Horrorcore is FICTION, not fact.

In summary, take horrorcore music for what it is ---> entertainment. If you listen to horrorcore for some kind of message or "the word from the streets" .... your not going to find it. As I've said many times, listening to horror is like watching horror movies. You know the shit is fake, some of it may sound corny, but you enjoy listening to it for the ENTERTAINMENT value.

To all Hip-hops fans: Get a grip, loosen up the puffy vest, and lighten up.
