| 11 | Electronicore or "synthcore" is a music genre that rose to prominence in the late 2000's, largely on social media websites such as Website/MySpace and music sharing services. The genre is largely a mix between {{heavy metal}}, {{hardcore punk}} and various types of {{electronic music}} (usually {{trance}}, rave, or {{dubstep}}). It is characterized by the usual metalcore trademarks of harsh vocals and chugs but it's also coupled with auto-tuned or synthesized clean vocals, lots of breakdowns (probably to even more of an extent than metalcore) and electronic breaks usually in the bridge. Some of the bands have a relatively bad reputation among music critics (check the crabcore meme) but the scene has also produced many critically acclaimed and experimental bands that prove the genre's worth. |

| 13 | Many bands have overlap with straight up {{Metalcore}} as well as [[ScreamoMusic Screamo]], with the more genre-bending ones also overlap with {{Crunkcore}}. |

| 17 | Bands in this genre include |
| 18 | [[index]] |
| 19 | * Music/AbandonAllShips |
| 20 | * Music/{{Asking Alexandria}} (At first-- they're since switched to pure [[ScreamoMusic Screamo]] and {{Metalcore}}) |
| 21 | * Music/ArsonistsGetAllTheGirls |
| 22 | * Attack Attack! (probably the most infamous example, although by their third (and last) album, they had ditched the genre and became straight up {{Metalcore}}) |
| 23 | * Breathe Carolina |
| 24 | * Music/BringMeTheHorizon (slowly ditched {{deathcore}} to become a version of elctronicore influenced more by ambient electro and post-rock than by rave, ultimately becoming one of the most critically acclaimed bands in this genre and by ''That's the Spirit'', the "-core" part was completely abandoned) |
| 25 | * Music/TheBrowning (more leaned towards {{heavy metal}}, {{deathcore}} and HardcoreTechno) |
| 26 | * Music/TheBunnyTheBear |
| 27 | * Music/CaptureTheCrown |
| 28 | * Crossfaith (Have strong GrooveMetal and MelodicDeathMetal influences, undoubtedly the heaviest example) |
| 29 | * Crown The Empire |
| 30 | * Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows |
| 31 | * The Devil Wears Prada |
| 32 | * Music/ElectricCallboy (fka Eskimo Callboy, also metalcore and comedy rock) |
| 33 | * Music/{{Enter Shikari}} (along with Bring Me The Horizon, probably the most critically acclaimed - mixed with PostHardcore and AlternativeRock) |
| 34 | * Music/{{Exotype}} (an insanely GenreBusting example as they combine multiple types of metal and electronic music together into a package that isn't easy to describe) |
| 35 | * Music/{{Falling in Reverse}} (''Fashionably Late'' only) |
| 36 | * Music/{{Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas|Band}} (the electronic aspect of their music pulls influence from just about everywhere, from EDM to J-core, and their more "core" aspect is straight up post-hardcore, but they've been known to mess around with genres numerous times in their songs) |
| 37 | * Music/HorseTheBand (a "Nintendocore" band, where the synthesized parts sound like something from an 8-bit game) |
| 38 | * I See Stars |
| 39 | * Music/{{Issues}} (Their debut EP ''Black Diamonds'' mostly, mixed with NuMetal. They became straightforward nu-metalcore with less prominent electronic elements afterwards) |
| 40 | * Music/JamiesElswhere |
| 41 | * Music/KarateHighSchool |
| 42 | * Memphis May Fire |
| 43 | * Motionless in White |
