Horrorcore

Horrorcore is a subgenre of hip-hop that delves into the macabre, blending dark, horror-themed lyrics with ominous beats. Emerging in the late 1980s and gaining traction in the '90s, it draws inspiration from horror films and psychological thrillers, often featuring graphic storytelling and eerie soundscapes. Notable for its theatricality and shock value, horrorcore has been championed by artists like Gravediggaz and Insane Clown Posse, carving a niche for fans of both hip-hop and horror.
