Easycore (less commonly known as popcore, dudecore, softcore, happy hardcore, poppy hardcore, and EZ ) is a subgenre of Melodic hardcore that mixes elements of Pop punk and different forms of Hardcore, particularly Metalcore and Post-hardcore. It is characterized by it's use of Melodies commonly found in Pop Punk fused with breakdowns, growling, and screaming found in Metalcore and Hardcore. The genre originated in the early 2000's with groups such as New Found Glory and Sum 41 being highly influential in it's development (with the former naming the genre on a tour known as the "Easycore tour"). the Easycore sound was later popularized in the mid 2000's to early 2010's by bands such as Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, A Day to Remember , and Four Year Strong.
