Mixedcore

Mixedcore is a subgenre of metalcore that combines elements of metalcore with other genres, typically electronic music. The term "mixedcore" was coined in 2006 by the band The Word Alive to describe their unique sound, which blended metalcore with electronic music. The genre is characterized by its use of electronic instruments, such as synthesizers and drum machines, alongside traditional metalcore instruments like guitars, bass, and drums. Mixedcore bands often incorporate elements of other genres, such as electronic rock, post-hardcore, and electronicore, into their music. The genre's origins can be traced back to bands like The Word Alive, The Devil Wears Prada, and The Blackout, who pioneered the sound by combining metalcore's aggressive vocals and breakdowns with electronic music's synthesizers and beats. Mixedcore has since gained a dedicated following and has been featured in various music festivals and compilations. The genre's popularity has led to the emergence of numerous bands and artists who continue to push the boundaries of mixedcore's sound and style.
