Digital hardcore is a music genre or style that was first defined by Alec Empire. Digital Hardcore Recordings is also the name of the record company that Alec Empire set up in Germany in the early 1990s. Digital hardcore reached the peak of its popularity in the mid-1990s and spawned a rapid growth in labels specializing in the genre, but has since regressed to "underground" status.[[Citing sources citation needed]]
Digital hardcore is an abrasive and typically electronic music, created with samplers and drum machines. The music is a combination of hardcore punk, hardcore techno, drum and bass and other similar styles. It has close ties to industrial and noise music. It is in some ways similar to the more modern nintendocore. Most of the time, lyrics are anarchist slogan
Some of the most popular digital hardcore acts include Atari Teenage Riot (Alec Empire's own band), EC8OR, The Shizit, Bomb 20, Cobra Killer, Hanin Elias, Panic DHH, Ambassador 21, Tuareg Geeks, Schizoid, Christoph de Babalon, Mad Capsule Markets and Shizuo.
