Why are all new genres now named by adding "core" to the end of a word when "core" is just half of the word "hardcore," which is an actual word with a definition, which makes the name of every other genre that ends in "core" completely nonsensical and retarded?

I miss when genre names started out as disses to bands/scenes

there's no completely logical reason for language change. some things catch on, others don't.

It's retarded though. It's like taking the "azz" out of jazz and tacking that onto the end of words to create genre names. Just come up with new fucking words, there are a lot of them.

You could actually just remove the "core" from basically every genre that ends with "core" except for hardcore and that would solve the problem.

no it's not, as core is also a standalone word, not just a suffix; azz is neither of those things

The standalone word has an entirely different meaning than "hardcore," which is the word people are borrowing from when they add "core" to the end of words. The fact is, they're adding "core" to the ends of words because of hardcore. I don't know why you feel the need to defend retarded shit, all you did was make it seem more retarded.

protip: affixes can have different meanings and commonly develop different meanings across time across various languages. this is nothing new, you just sound like a boomer.

Let me ask you a question, because this will say a lot: Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable, and why?

I'm not a prescriptivist, so I would reject the idea that there's a necessary definition we have to generally prefer - namely the botanical or culinary one. we can materially/scientifically describe a tomato, but which category is "proper" is arbitrary
