What does adding “-core” as a suffix mean?
What does adding "-core" as a suffix mean? ex. Metalcore, Deathcore, Nintendocore, Sadcore, Mathcore, etc. A simple explanation would be "the essentials of the root genre", but this is not how -core is used. Does it mean anything, or is it just a marketing term for customers at Hot Topic?
