Foxcore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Foxcore is a word coined by Thurston Moore to describe a style of alternative rock.[1]
The style has the essential sound of grunge. It is also associated with riot grrrl, because the bands are all-girl, female-fronted, or are made up mainly of females. Foxcore, however, does not always have the feminist power of riot grrrl. Nor does it always have the apathetic attitude of grunge.
Foxcore became popular in the early 1990s, due to the musical climate of pop culture at that time. One of the most notable foxcore bands was L7, whose 1992 album Bricks Are Heavy is said to be an "essential" recording of the 1990s.
The influence of foxcore is still found in underground bands today, though the bands of the scene are not as recognized as in the past.
