- Sadcore is an infrequently employed subgenre term used by music journalists to describe examples of alternative rock characterised by bleak lyrics, downbeat melodies and slower tempos. The term is an example of use of the suffix "-core". As such, it is a loose definition and does not describe a specific movement or scene. It is categorised by Allmusic's reference guide as music "by and for the depressed" . While Chan Marshall has been dubbed the "Queen of Sadcore", other bands such as Low have rejected the term for being too cheesy. In 2006, the News Record used the term to refer to Arab Strap, describing their sound as "a lot like the band's native Scotland: dark, cold, rainy and depressing. The album's mood is both aggressive and somber" but it has not gained widespread currency. More often than not, usage of the term is confined to a rejection of the kind of sub-sub-genre categorisation that it may well have been coined to subvert.
