Could this be a fad?

Transient?

That is a picturesque wheat field, majestically and wheatily blowing in the wind.

Look at it go.

Soon the wind will stop blowing and it won't look so whole-wheatily majestic. This is the similar effect that sudden fame and hype has on things in this world. Its just the way society copes by flushing its system off all the 'suddenly famous, suddenly irrelevant' material. Could Kwaicore be said material? Possibly.

As much as the hype launched Kwaicore off and most likely confused Google with all the sudden traffic to and from sights it could die quicker than it started. If artists don't pick up on the trend then there will be no material to catapult the genre to further success as much as Rusko can create amazing tracks and continue repping the crazy new music style it will eventually die. 

But wouldn't you love to still hear that partnership of Mandoza and Bring Me The Horizon?

I can just imagine their name up in lights.

Bring Me The Tender

Hardcore and Kwaito's love child - Kwaicore.

So, like, what is kwaicore bru?

Let me capture your imagination for a minute - The birth of Kwaicore. Deep in Soweto, somewhere inside Thabiso’s shebeen sat Mandoza and Bring Me The Horizon. Together they formed the unholy patronage between Kwaito and Hardcore – Kwaicore: a blistering blend of bass and breakdowns on the cutting edge of culture in South Africa. 

The culmination between kwaito and hardcore is probably one of the more unique combinations the genre machine has seen in a long time (that is if you exclude Celtic death metal). Kwaito is definable by its slower tempo, emphasized bass and R&B or rap type vocals. This genre is related to the Apartheid struggle in South Africa and the rise of Nelson Mandela. As much as kwaito represents this rags to riches idea it also represents a brotherhood and community, this is where it connects to hardcore.

 Hardcore is very much a brotherhood. It is all about community and having each other's back while flipping a bird at The Man. You can see how the two genre's might meet and generate offspring.

This is a documentary of the coupling between kwaito and hardcore. Kwaicore is here bitches.
