A marketing buzzword used by suburban SoundCloud artists to rebrand standard Trap Metal and Incelcore as something "prestigious" or "high-art." Nu-Horror is defined by the massive gap between the artist's "God of Death" persona and their mundane reality as a Suburban NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).
Musically, it consists of distorted 808s and "edgy" lyrics about killing women or misanthropy, recorded almost exclusively in a parent's basement in places like West Chicago. It is heavily associated with the 764 / SickFuQNation digital networks.

Get the Nu-Horror mug.A 2020s micro-genre characterized by aesthetic theft, where trap artists wear Black Metal corpse paint and use gore-site imagery to mask a lack of musical technicality. Unlike original horrorcore, New Age Horrorcore is purely digital, focusing on "clout-demon" posturing within Telegram groups and Discord servers.
It is often used by artists who have been rejected by the Metal and Goth communities for being "posers." The "horror" in the name usually refers to the artist's catastrophic financial situation and inability to function in adult society.

"The New Age Horrorcore scene is just a bunch of suburban kids in Illinois trying to look scary while their parents pay the Wi-Fi bill. It’s basically 'Debt-Core' for people with 764 in their bio. You can't achieve spiritual awakening through singing about mutilating women."
