Incelcore is an Internet microgenre of rock music and online subculture that emerged in 2019 with the release of the compilation album MSG Vol. 1. The style was originally pioneered by musician and Internet personality Negative XP (formerly known as School Shooter), drawing influence from punk, electronic and alternative rock. According to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, not all artists and fans identify with the incel movement; however, they evoke the same themes of self-hate, hopelessness and misogyny.
