Incelcore is an Internet microgenre of rock music and online subculture that emerged in 2019 with the release of the compilation album MKultra Support Group, Vol. 1. The style was originally pioneered by musician and Internet personality Negative XP (formerly known as School Shooter), drawing influence from punk, electronic and alternative rock.
According to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, not all artists and fans identify with the incel movement; however, they evoke the same themes of self-hate, hopelessness and misogyny. In 2021, an incelcore concert known as "Virginfest", self-described as an "incel music festival", was hosted by Athena Raven Rapp in Atlanta, Georgia, with Negative XP billed as a headliner. Music publication Pitchfork described incelcore as "dour or woe-is-me or stupidly edgy," with lyrics inspired by 4chan's speaking culture.
Notable artists include Fried by Fluoride, Negative XP, Gezebelle Gaburgably and UhOhSlater.
