Nintendocore, also known as Gamecore and Ataricore is a genre of music inspired by the music or soundtracks which accompany 8-bit video games, most notably those on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is characterized by the intensity of metalcore music joined with keyboard parts that sound similar to 8-bit video game music but is occasionally remixed techno variations of old NES video game themes. The term Nintendocore was jokingly coined by Nathan Winneke, lead singer of HORSE the band.
