Horrorcore is a subgenre of hip hop music based on horror-themed lyrical content and imagery. Its origins derived from hardcore and gangsta rap artists such as the Geto Boys, who often incorporated supernatural or occult themes into their lyrics and, unlike most gangsta rap artists, pushed the violent content and imagery in their lyrics beyond the realm of realistic urban violence to the point where the violent lyrics became gruesome, unsettling, or slasher film-esque. The term ''horrorcore'' was popularized by openly horror-influenced hip hop groups such as Flatlinerz and Gravediggaz. ==Origins== It has been argued that Jimmy Spicer's 1980 single "Adventures of Super Rhyme" was perhaps the first example of anything that resembled horrorcore, due to the segment of the song in which Spicer recounts his experience of meeting Dracula. Following this were groups like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, and songs like Dana Dane's "Nightmares," which spun more frightening, imaginative narratives. Since 1983, Ganksta N-I-P has performed horror-themed lyrics which he described as "Psycho Rap", but was not commonly considered to be horrorcore until the term came into mainstream prominence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AllHipHop » Ganxta NIP: The Psycho Becomes A God Of Horrorcore )〕 Ganksta N-I-P has written lyrics for other groups, including Geto Boys.〔 In 1988, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince released "A Nightmare on My Street", which described an encounter with Freddy Krueger,〔 and the Fat Boys recorded the similarly-themed "Are You Ready for Freddy" for the film ''A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master'' and its soundtrack.〔 While Kool Keith later claimed to have "invented horrorcore", the first use of the term appeared on the group KMC's 1991 album ''Three Men With the Power of Ten''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「horrorcore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
