Glitchcore is a vaguely defined electronic music style that incorperates elements of Drum and Bass, "IDM", Hardcore Techno, House, Speedcore, Illbient, Ambient, Industrial, and Jungle music. Glitchcore'
s drums are often very fast and the bass is often very deep and powerful. Glitchcore is most similar to Breakcore for they share many similar qualities, but Glitchcore's signature element is the
CD-Skipping/
Television static/Electronic Mistake type of audio.
Some of the most influecial artists of Glitchcore are the Venetian Snares and
DJ Scud. The Glitchcore sound originated in the
mid-1990s as Darkcore music was branching into many styles such as Techstep, Darkstep and Noize.
