Regarded as a subset of IDM or Intelligent Dance Music, Glitchcore deals with the more arcane sounds that artists could now utilise with the advent of home computers and easily aquired sampling equipment. Add to this the music community's love of adding a '-core' suffix (Hardcore, Emocore, Slowcore, Snorecore) and a new (sub)genre is born. Contrary to popular belief however, good examples Glitchcore are not Aphex Twin and the like; the music, while being bizarre, is missing some key elements which make up Glitchcore. In layman's terms, Glitchcore is music that sounds like it's fucking up.
