What is Shitcore?
1.
A genre of music, closely related to Nu-metal. It is difficult to objectively describe this genre without sounding like a complete cock-wad, so it is probably better to just list some band names instead.
Shitcore bands:
Linkin Park
Slipknot
Papa Roach
(Insert name of band that is a corporate piece of shit designed by some office dwelling record company executive to appeal to your average teenage idiot who is oblivious to what real music is.)

While it's popular to refer to various commercial nu metal and emo bands (as well as some non-commercial punk bands) as shitcore, shitcore as a genre is actually something quite different. It's a pretty self-deprecating and no-fi form of underground music (some of the only real underground music there is currently) that is deliberately awful and humorously pathetic, often created with (or with the help of) shitty computer programs. There are ACTUALLY subgenres within shitcore, ranging from shitgrind to shit rap even, and the lyrics are often obsessed with coprophilia, gay sex, murder, suicide, pedophilia, Hitler, and anything else that can be blatantly offensive, stupid, politically incorrect, or all-around gross.
Examples of shitcore include 50 Ways To Kill Me, Suicidal Rap Orgy, Hitlerbuttsecks, and Kitten Felcher (of which I am a member myself -- good for me, I get an air biscuit).
