Description of frenchcore music
Frenchcore is a subgenre of hardcore techno that originated in France in the early 2000s. It is characterized by a fast tempo, typically around 200-230 beats per minute, distorted kick drums, aggressive and often humorous samples, and a heavy use of French language samples.
Frenchcore is known for its high energy and intense sound, and often incorporates elements from other genres such as hip hop, metal, and classical music. It has gained a dedicated following in the electronic music community, particularly in Europe and the Netherlands.
Some popular Frenchcore artists include Dr. Peacock, Sefa, Radium, The Sickest Squad, and Floxytek. The music is often played at hardcore events and festivals, and has a reputation for being a favorite among fans of harder styles of dance music.
