Have you heard of "Drum & Bass"? It is a genre of music, one that was very popular in the 2000s. In the 1960s song "Amen Brother" by The Winstons, drummer G.C. Coleman played a drum solo near the middle of the song. It was such a good solo in fact, that many people copied it and remade it into their own songs, much to Coleman's displeasure. The sample truly took off when the genre "Drum & Bass" took off in the 2000s, as mentioned before. It used computer software, known as digital audio workstations, to mix the drum solo into a pattern, with a loud bass and dark melodies/synths in the background, making a full song.
Toward the later half of the 2000s, the European hardcore music scene began to shift. It became a popular choice to mix the "Amen Break" (The drum solo from the song mentioned earlier) into a bunch of distorted and random patterns, usually very off beat, sometimes with no melody. This would become known as breakcore, and is still very unpopular today, in the grand scheme of the underground music scene. There is no direct confirmation of the origins of breakcore, but it is said to be inspired by the record labels "Addict" (USA), "Peace Off" (France), "Sonic Belligeranza" (Italy), and the London-based "Planet Mu". While never truly becoming very popular, there are a few artists keeping breakcore alive today, an example of breakcore music will be linked at the bottom of the page.
"Loli" is the Japanese word for a young girl. "Lolicore" is what happens when you combine the words "loli" and "breakcore". As the name implies, this subgenre of breakcore was usually accompanied with very edgy themes and names in its inception. So...what is it?
Lolicore combines the fast-paced insanity of breakcore with very high pitched vocals and distorted sound effects, similar to nightcore music. The only difference is that nightcore is usually a sped up version of a pre-existing song, while lolicore is usually its own distorted mess. Lolicore was pioneered by the artist "Goreshit" in 2007, who has since evolved past that stage of music, making music in many different genres, from Hardcore to Drum & Bass.
Since its inception (and somewhat abandonment by its creator), there have been a few big players taking over (and evolving) the genre. Lolicore has gone from distorted beats and high pitched voices to mostly 90s/2000s style music using various vocal samples, usually Japanese, often from video games or anime. Some songs sample edgier things, such as one song linked below which samples a speech by Adolf Hitler, leaving the view of the genre somewhat trapped in its intentionally edgy roots. One of the more notable producers on the modern lolicore scene is the artist "Loli in early 20s". It seems that while breakcore has stayed largely the same, lolicore has had a swift change in direction, sometimes referencing its hilarious and obscene history.
