Thrashcore

Thrashcore (also known as fastcore) is a fast-tempo subgenre of hardcore punk that emerged in the early 1980s. Thrashcore is essentially sped-up hardcore, often using blast beats. Songs can be very brief, and thrashcore is in many ways a less dissonant, less metallic forerunner of grindcore. The genre is sometimes associated with the skateboarder subculture.

Not to be confused with Crossover thrash, which fuses hardcore punk with thrash metal, or speedcore, which is an aggressive electronic dance music subgenre.
