no...because electronica covers quite a huge number of styles
sub genre's of sub genre's that people seem to have the pathetic need to keep layering on as if it somehow proves their musical knowledge are idtiots
hence "rapcore" is a name made up by idiot...
here is a perfect example of an idiot

post grunge isn't even a genre...think about it..."post" grunge...meaning after grunge....that means every piece of music written after grunge music began is "post grunge"....britney spears, post grunge...eminem, post grunge...hence it's idiotic
post rock is even more idiotic...because rock music is still going...so how can anything be "post" rock...
metal probably has the most idiotic sub genres of them all
doom metal????...i mean, seriously...
or take this lovely quote from wiki about metal
Viking metal is a subgenre of black metal, typically with musical compositions more complex than early Norwegian black metal. Having songs with lyrics about vikings or the various histories and legends of the Nordic countries has nothing to do with classifying a band as Viking metal. It is a complex subgenre with subtle cross-over elements, such as native folk music styles or melodeath. Thyrfing and Ensiferum are examples of this genre.
"melodeath".... 😆 😆

What the ... ?
Post-Grunge just means after the Grunge circa, meaning that alot of bands directly after the Grunge age were inspired by them but had a blend of their own style, rendering it post grunge. Just like Rapcore is a hybrid.

but then who are idiotic labellers to say what bands were influenced by what
you cant say that britney wasn't influenced by alice in chains simply because it doesn't show in her music can you?...
similarly a band can emerge that sounds identical to alice in chains yet its possible they never heard of them...
so you cant pigeonhole bands based on what you think their influence are
and if post grunge means "after the grunge circa" then how can something be "post rock" when the rock circa is still happening?
you cant...hence its a stupid label made by stupid people.

perhaps calling everything under a label "music" is a tad extreme...
but i personally dont see a need to go beyond "rock"..."metal"..."classical"..."hip-hop"...etc...only people who are trying to portray themselves as musically intellectual have a need to sub classify music to try and show that they know something other people dont...
Why can't there just be bands that defy labels? i.e. (Radiohead, Tool, RATM, Deftones)
They'd all probably found under "Rock", because there isn't an Existential-core, a unique-core, a politi-core, nor a multipleinfluence-core. That said, "Doom Metal" is indeed a very popular, and long standing subgenre of metal. It's not a core, mind you. In a lot of circles, maybe wrongly so, Opeth are considered such.
Alice IN Chains were indeed great, but their last couple of albums seemed to fall on deaf ears. "Heaven Beside You" is a painfully good song.
..by the way, I'm THE CORE, and I do not suck.

What do you think? Do you like Alice In Chains? Do they deserve more respect?
Layne and Cobain. The struggle was so apparent. It was sad when they left us. Man in the Box, Down in a Hole, Would are classics. Respect AIC
I can tell someone the differences between black metal and death metal, because they do exist, there's reasons.
I just don't bother dealing with the genres myself, it's just metal to me. It's not me being too broad, because I know the difference, my ears can tell the difference, I don't need to tell myself I'm listening to black metal to know it's black metal, I just know it.
-AC

Same here, but that's just you and me. Others may need to separate the difference. For what relevant purpose? I don't know, because I do not need to review genres.
Rapcore is a genre. Just like anything else.
