dirgecore 

Sludgy, nasty, misanthropic urban decay punk/rock/scum/noise/metal. Music that slobbers, carries a switchblade, and is filled with often aimless nihilism, malignant rage, and funereal grief in equal measures. Tempo is usually anywhere from slowed-to-a-crawl to mid-paced. It has been said that the following bands have perpetrated some pretty damn good dirgecore: Drugs of Faith, Khanate, Meat Shits, His Hero is Gone, Napalm Death, Godflesh, Pig Destroyer, Feederz, Ministry, Robert Trimbole's Hat, Hellhammer, Gallhammer, Eddie and the Subtitles, Saw Throat, Cathedral, Morbid Cunt Bondage, Ahab, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine, Bedpanorama, Bobby Soxx, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Thrones, Sore Throat, Swans, Asbestosdeath, Pissed Jeans, Buzzov*en, Noothgrush, Cyanimid, Melvins, Drunks With Guns, Killdozer, Eyehategod, Grief, F.U.'s.

Dirtcore 

A musical genre infusing extreme metal with elements of grunge, creating some of the most pure awesome rock on the face of the planet. Imagine grindcore/death and grunge, that's what I'm going for, it could be very tasteful if you think about it. Like Killswitch Engage on musical steroids.
