Bardcore

A musical genre involving having modern songs reverse engineered to sound more medieval, primarily by replacing the sounds of modern instruments with those that existed in the middle ages. If the song contains English lyrics, the words might be altered to sound more like Shakespearean English. All of this is to make it sound as if the song could've been sung by a bard} in a medieval tavern somewhere, hence the name 'Bardcore'.

James: Like heavy metal bands like Sabaton, what about you?

beardcore

A new sub-genre of music, started in America, which comprises of so called "Happy Hardcore" metal music. The songs are lyrically sung rather than shouted, but all the major ideals from metal are there (the double pedal, drop tuned guitars, breakdowns.) The only major difference is the songs are played in a major (or "happy") key. Beardcore is attached to this small sub-genre, because of the leading band, Four Year Strong (Who together have more hair than a sheep)

"Hey dude, you checked out this beardcore band?"
"OMG they're so rad, I gotta buy their merch and grow a beard to beat them!"
