Internetcore is a placeholder name, one that is necessary in lieu of an appellation otherwise more widely known, for a grouping of genres whom only denizens of the web would be familiar. Genres such as Synthwave, Future Funk, VaporWave, Lofi, ETC.. make up the core of this confusing, amorphous, and ever evolving supergenre; Vaporwave and Synthwave respectfully have gone on to inspire a myriad of “Wave” subgenres, most of which are too obscure and too niche to bother listing here. What we’re looking for in this general is anything you think meshes with the above description, vague as it is, with few exceptions(breakcore, EDM, Dubstep) if you think it fits post it. Thank you to @Ogre Magi for helping me with the op.

Some Highlights of InternetCore would include

HOME

Com Truise

Windows96

Miami Nights 1984

Macroblank
Yes all of his album titles are in Kanji, dude is rather prolific.
痛みの永遠
行方不明
絶望に負けた

Mitch Murder

Flamingosis
Lazerhawk

Saint Pepsi/Skylar Spence

C148

Another artist that I have only recently discovered in this compilation album called Polychoron.1 is Voyage. Looks like he's much newer than a lot of the artists listed in the OP, who have been around for a decade or longer. The opening song on Polychoron.1, Parallax, has been stuck in my head for a few months now.

I have also been listening to his debut album Second Light from earlier this year. Voyage's style is very similar to HOME's, who hasn't released a full album in awhile. If you've been missing HOME, I highly recommend it. The whole album is great, but my favorite track has to be Subsonic.

I have more music to share, but I'll drop them later.

Broadly a very boring genre, but good in small doses. You've already linked Macroblanc, and I'm rather fond of the artist that Macroblanc apes the style of (Haircuts for Men.) Nice music to listen to while driving around on a rainy, overcast day.


Of course no discussion of WAVE music would be complete without the OG:


Still, I do think the sounds of WAVE sound best when mixed with other genres, such as breakbeats or trap.
 
(Haircuts for Men.)
He was gonna be in my next large post of artists, dude has some interesting song titles that's for sure.

Post some, like I said this is a vague, and nebulous supergenere. Artists like C148, and Saint Pepsi wouldn't fit into the "wave" category at all.
please kys ASAP
I wont, simple as.

Neither are my favorites, but there are some good tracks out there. Like @Kujo Jotaro said, go ahead and link some of your favorites. I'll try to find the one song I am thinking of that sort of fits this subgenre when I have some free time later.

I hate that label "internetcore" please kys ASAP.
I don't really care if the following music fits the thread, it is music i like, you posted Lazerhawk so it is close enough probably.
Great contributions! Dan Terminus is highly underrated in my opinion.

I'm sure you're probably aware of some of these artists already, but hearing these tracks makes me think of that subgenre of Heavy Metal Synthwave (I think people call it Dark Synth? That's what I've always called it): Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Gost, and Toxic Avenger, and of course Dan Terminus. The second song you posted reminds me of the soundtrack for FURI, which has both Carpenter Brut and Toxic Avenger on it.

My two favorite songs from the OST:


And here's a link to the OST for convenience-sake.

I don't know if that is the name but since hotline miami 2 this is my favorite music genre, and yeah i know them, the problem with most of these artist is that their music is pretty hit or miss. Carpenter Brut is the most consistent but i think it happens to him too. Personally my favorites are Ultrakiller, Vulta and Hubrid.
Anyway here are some more of these artists and others you should know if you don't:
This one is funny

Apologizes. I meant to post this reply the other day, but I've been as sick as a dog the whole week. I'm recognizing a lot of the artists you are posting, but there's one I think you've never heard of: Reznyck. There's only two albums, but there's some great music in there that would be right up your alley.
I've listened to Muscle Cardiac from front to back dozens of times, but have not really listened to his other album French Erections. And there's even a Perturbator Remix of one of the songs on Muscle Cardiac!

I have heard the perturpator remix before but never bothered to check the original, i do like his music.
Here is the soundtrack of a hotline miami clone i just found about today, thought i should share. Pretty good.
 
Dawh... the server rollback affected the last post about Le Castle Vania. I've forgotten the name of who posted about it, but I'll throw some Le Castle Vania up. It's a bit on the mainstream "dance" side of electronic music, but I think it in the same vein a lot of the other music already posted here.

In looking for some Le Castle Vania music I noticed he did a few songs for Payday 2 way back in 2015, and it reminded me of the songs used for the Hotline Miami DLC. Especially Hot Pursuit.


Edit: @Johnny Clyde Cash if you wanted to post the songs you posted yesterday before we had to rollback go ahead!

I've been meaning to add some more artists that most definitely deserve to be in this thread. I'll list them in the order of familiarity I have with each artist from most to least. They all are great though, so please check each one out. Being in this thread, they are not all the same genre of "wave" music, so just take a listen and see what you like/don't like.

Makeup and Vanity Set
M&VS has been making music for over a decade now. He's contributed towards lots of different OSTs, particularly the isometric-mech-destruction video game Brigador, the OST for Heart of Batman, and many more. While his older stuff is more cinematic and definitely inspired by John Carpenter, newer albums have had different flavors. His newest album titled "FM" just came out yesterday, which is basically a love letter to Yamaha's DX7 FM synth. I'm a huge fucking electronic music nerd. Fight me.

:stickup:

Personal favorite:
88:88 (2012) - HIGHLY RECOMMEND, especially listen all in one sitting the first time.
Brigador OST (Volume I) (2016) - Best Brigador OST. All of the songs are killer.
Brigador OST (Volume 2) (2016)
Brigador: Uplink (2016)
Chrome (2017)
Breaking News (2019)
Heart of Batman (2021)
Wavefinder (2023) - I played this a lot during the first half of this year.
FM (2023) - Fucking fantastic new album.

Highway Superstar
Most notable in the mainstream for contributing a song for Kung Fury (OST), Highway Superstar has been around for awhile. Leans heavily into the 80's pop side of Synthwave for a lot of his tracks. Has not put out a full album in a very long time, so anything recent is singles or collaborations.

Personal favorite:

And an old single I remember blasting hard in 2015:
Take My Time (2013)
Endgame (2015)
And lots of singles I can't list here

GosT
I mentioned GosT before, but decided I should write a bit about him. He's a member of Blood Music, the same label that Perturbator and Dan Terminus are a part of. You can read about Blood Music here, but they are basically modern electronic metalheads. Anything synth-related music from Blood Music is certainly Darksynth stuff. Gost's music is edgy, but it's pretty great. If you like Carpenter Brut you'll certainly like GosT.

Personal favorite:

Mega Drive
If you've played Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, you've already heard of Mega Drive. Don't sleep on his other albums though! Mega Drive is that flavor of wave music that is dark and has its roots in metal.

Personal favorite:

Tonebox
I'll be honest and say I don't know much about Tonebox. However, I have played the Nocturn album from start to finish more times than I can count, so that totally makes me an expert ;). Did the music for a game called Nitro Kid. Never have played the game, but the OST is great. Has mostly put out singles in the last few years.

Personal recent favorite single:
Nocturn (2016) - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Cloud Highway (2019)
Last Encryption (2021)
Nitro Kid OST (2022)
And lots of singles I can't list here

Blank Banshee
I don't know as much about Blank Banshee as I'd like. Pretty sure got their start making Vaporwave back during the craze about a decade ago. I had only heard of this song:
Blank Banshee kind of hops around these subgenres, but I'm sure you'll find something you like. His most recent album 4D is fucking killer. Highly recommend just listening through the whole thing start to finish, as it is continuous.

Personal favorite:
Blank Banshee 0
Blank Banshee 1
Gaia (2020)
Music for Menus (2022)
4D (2023) - HIGHLY RECOMMEND, especially listen all in one sitting the first time.
And lots of singles I can't list here

Decisive Koala
I have been on a Chillwave/non-sampled Vaporwave kick this year. Found this artist via one of those auto-recommendations after listening to Windows96. Highly recommend if you just want to chill.

Personal favorite:
(stay until the synth sax solo at 1:25 at least, please)

Caspro
I have only recently discovered Caspro, specifically due to his collaboration with Decisive Koala. The Dark Digital stuff is more cyberpunky-Darksynth stuff, but not as far as Mega Drive, GosT, or Carpenter Brut. Because it is October as of when I am posting this, I have to include a direct link to this:

Other personal favorite, and it's a cover of a classic too:

This post is long enough so I will make another when I find the time to write about more of the niche artists I adore. I will continue to use this thread as my own personal blog like the turbo-music-sped I am. Please post more music, even if you are unsure if it fits here or not!

WTF happened!?!
Edit: Ah, copyright issues. That's fucking gay. I thought it was transformative enough.
 
Hey friends. I just had an album get recommended to me via autoplay. It's from way back in 2017 but I've been enjoying it. I've never heard of this artist before. Seems to be a group of 3 guys?
1696883983151.png
I haven't listened to everything else yet so I cannot attest to more recent works, but this album isn't bad. It's some of the harder-hitting Synthwave, but not as far as Dan Terminus or Mega Drive. Enjoy!
