A few months ago, we had an amusing conversation about musical genres' names in general and the term "emocore" in particular (see sec. 1 and comments). A bit later came the following dialogue with my fifteen-year-old niece:
Uncle: ...then you might have heard of emocore.
Niece: Yes, yes! Emocore.
Uncle: You probably know Dinosaur jr. then?
Niece: Um, no.
Uncle: They were the big emocore heroes in the nineties.
Niece: Well, that might have something to do with my having been born in 1993.
Uncle: Good point. What's emocore to you, then? Billy Talent?
Niece: No! That's screamcore!
Uncle: Never heard of that one. What is it?
Niece: Um, it's basically like emocore, only with screaming.
So now you know.
