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)
