In Alec Empire's words, "Digital Hardcore went from a local, Berlin based scene to an international underground movement."
2010s
Digital hardcore saw less prominence in the 2010s. However, its international influence can be seen in the prominence of electronicore, a similar musical genre fusing hardcore punk and metalcore with electronica. The German band We Butter the Bread with Butter has seen commercial success employing this fusion.[10] The term "digital hardcore" has largely fallen out of use, given its association with politically charged lyrics, which are not a characteristic of newer electronicore artists.[citation needed]
One notable digital hardcore band to come out of the 2010s was Machine Girl, especially with their 2017 album ...Because I'm Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For, which combined their earlier modern breakcore style with more extreme hardcore punk vocals.
2020s
Coming into the 2020s, digital hardcore has seen a rise with new releases and artists, such as LustSickPuppy, death insurance and VoidDweller. Notable mainstream success within the digital hardcore genre has been seen with the British band WARGASM, whose debut EP, Explicit: The Mixxxtape, was released on 9 September 2022.
