Electronicore (also known as trancecore, synthcore, or simply electronic hardcore) describes a stylistic fusion of post-hardcore and melodic metalcore with electronic music.

Electronicore is characterized by typical post-hardcore instrumentation, metalcore-influenced breakdowns, heavy use of sequencers and synthesizers, auto-tuned singing, and screamed vocals. The genre often features dynamic transitions from soft electronica ballads to intense metalcore passages. However, the degree to which metalcore characteristics are incorporated may vary. In addition to electronic, the fusion may involve a variety of other electronic music genres, including techno, trance, dubstep, electro, and electronic dance music.
