Digicore (also known as glitchcore ) is a microgenre of hip hop music noted for its use of pop culture samples, heavily distorted sub-bass, and lyrics derived from emo rap. A genre brought up by young artists during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is often produced by online personalities from their own homes.

A key aspect of digicore is its integration of Generation Z culture. Modern internet memes, video game franchises such as Roblox and Minecraft, and the utilization of places such as Discord for communication between artists. Meme humor is one of the biggest impacts on the genre in regards to its sound and lyrical content, often derived from culture from Alt TikTok. The soundtracks of video games are also a major influence, showing up in samples and sound design. Quoted from digicore artist dltzk, "As I made more and more music, I grew more inspired by video game soundtracks, specifically Pokémon and Undertale".
