A music genre that takes influence from Hardcore and Jungle. The most defining feature of breakcore is its emphasis on drums, kick, breaks, as well as its typically fast tempo. It often includes samples from other songs, that are heavily distorted. The most common drum break used is the Amen Break, and it has even been used in more common songs, such as N.W.A's "Straight Outta Compton"

Example breakcore musicians are Venetian Snares, Bong-Ra, Wan Bushi, FFF, and Squarepusher

Breakcore was started by a bunch of weirdos obsessed with IDM and chaoticly structured beat noise. most blend the bounce of Jungle or Drum and Bass, Gabber and Powernoise mayham together.
Some producers rely on special EFX, for others it is there programming Geekness that prevails. It has become a highly technical programming genre that does NOT go against musical theory but shows that jumping to and from differnt time signatures is ridiculusly possible with a Midi or computer Sequencer. the human body cannot accelerate nor stop at the ratio of these extreme rates without damaging tissue. Many Non DJ's call this style Drill and Bass but that style is danceable, TOO head Nodable and friendly.
Venetian Snares, Baseck, Otto Von Schirach, Doormouse, Enduser, Minon

Breakcore was born mostly on the good old world wide web, by a bunch of weirdos obsessed with IDM and chaotically structured beat noise. the genre draws influence from genres like hardcore, gabber and more notably jungle.

Some producers rely on special effects, for others it is there programming Geekness that prevails. It has become a highly technical programming genre that pushes boundaries and shit. it doesn't necessarily go against musical theory but shows that jumping to and from different time signatures is ridiculously possible with a Midi or computer Sequencer. the human body cannot accelerate nor stop at the ratio of these extreme rates without damaging tissue. Many normos call this genre Drill & Bass but thats something completely different (just because its fast and you hear drums and shit doesnt make it breakcore).

also many smaller artists draw a lot of inspiration from internet media. like anime, lots of fucking anime, and uhh tons of hip-hop shit. sampling is a big deal in breakcore my dues. but anyway not everyone is venetian snares. like look at these artists, they're completely different-ish

The ultimate form of music formed by cramming breaks and loops from limitless genres to make ultimately intense beats with unlimited depth.

Breakcore was started by gabber producers that began to get tired of 4/4 beats and wanted to experiment with the gabber sound. It has become a highly technical experimental genre that goes against musical theory yet still sustains to being effective music. Breakcore can either be dead serious or the funniest shit u've ever heard. Bassically Gabber + Drum and Bass
Artist include Venetian Snares, Drop the Lime, Otto Von Schirach, Doormouse, Stunt Rock, Society Suckers

It's a noisy, dirty and sometimes, very funny music. Most of the artists in the genre use samples from famous songs in the media (TV themes, commercials, movie voices etc.). The beats are insanely broken or even can madden you by its repeating blips and clicks like a scratched compact disc.
Oh, stop this breakcore, please! It's awful, and too fast! I don't even understand what you like about it.
