can we please grow up a bit and change the fucking profile picture to something less embarrassing?

I don't listen to / make breakcore that has anime influences in, but it's been around for most of the time this genre has existed. Hell, I have many thoughts about the "depressive" wave we had, I think it's mostly shite, but come the fuck on, this looks fucking stupid.

If this is the subreddit we're using to expand and introduce the genre to people, I don't want peoples first impression to be a pseudo-edgy cringe as fuck pfp. "ooooo aNiMe DoEsNT BeLoNg iN BWeaKCKORE wE'RE EdGEEEEEEEEEEE" fuuccckkkk offffffff

just change it to the breakcore gives me wood logo. that one logo nearly everyone in breakcore recognises as a symbol for breakcore and leave it.

thanks!

EDIT: Snafu, respectfully please step down and assign someone else. I don't think running a subreddit is for you based on what I've seen in this thread.

EDIT EDIT: I just want to make the important distinction that this is not meant as a personal attack. Rather, frustration that a large and heavily active portion of the community are being sidelined for what is, essentially, ego. Harsh criticism is is going to be expected if that is the case, and it's a shame it's taken this thread to highlight some very important issues. You should be critical of something you love, otherwise you risk becoming delusioned and start to have very unrealistic standards that can never be reached.

To Snafu: I appreciate the work you've put in, but you've dropped the ball quite badly as shown in this thread. I'd recommend—as someone who's run communities before—to add a bunch of new mods and to take a back seat for a while whilst collectively as a community, we figure out what's best for the sub. This can be done very quickly and means you'll still have full control of this sub. It's more so building on the foundations you've laid here over the years for the newer crowd. We're old dude. It's as much their genre as it is ours. Let's find a way to welcome newer people whilst still maintaining breakcores integrity. Happy to have a brief chat in DMs, and I apologise if my words are impassioned. Cheers x

r/breakcore. I'm once again going into battle, and I need your strongest tunes to play out.

Hey everyone!

I'm playing at Tangent's Northern Summer Sizzler in Leeds on the 1st of August. Check it: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ5cYkYISKQ/ - I'm sharing the lineup with legends like goreshit, Breakforce One (I guess :/), Microphyst, Techdiff, PUKE GIRL and LOADS more.

I'm part of the 2happy2hardcore collective this time. We're furry as fuck, Leeds based and the ethos is in the name; WAYYYYY too happy and REAAAAAALLLY fucking hardcore. So basically a perfect fit of what I've been doing for years anyway! Very very happy to be involved :)

So! While I got a bunch of my own stuff I'm gunna play and other dumb things, I wanna know what else is out there from people who I may not have come across before.

Therefore I'm HEAVILY ENCOURAGING YOU to share your new tunes here! I'm mostly looking for (somewhat) mixable tunes between 180 > 250 BPM, but honestly if you got some insane shit that doesn't fall into that, do send them anyway. If you're not a breakcore producer and just here for the love of the genre, post some requests you want me to play. I did this last time and got some bangers i'd forgotten about.

Dump them here for everyone to share! This isn't a popularity contest either, I'll (most likely) listen to everything whilst I work and let you know what I think.

Also, if you're in the area, come along! It's gunna be sick.

If you got any secret dubs or stuff not for public consumption yet, feel free to send them in a DM! The more weapons I have, the better.

Cheers <3
