The typical genre of music that gringles listen to. It appeals to a wide enough audience that makes the bands relatively successful and famous, but a narrow enough audience that they don't sell out. It is stylized by overt technicality, yet not without melodic quality and is a direct descendant of hardcore metal and technical death metal. Typical bands of this genre are Veil Of Maya, The Faceless, Born of Osiris, Periphery, The Red Chord, The Acacia Strain, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, etc.

Sound: similar to djent and deathcore, but as with emo, punk, goth, and any other prevalent subculture, the bands are less characterized by their sound and more by their audience. i.e. the gringles.

Etymology: "grime," referring to the grimy, showerless nature of the bands' audience + "core," indicating that it is heavier than crossover grime.
