Dariacore

Used to refer to music heavily influenced by the "dariacore" series of music by the artist leroy (more popularly known as dltzk).

As a genre, Dariacore takes heavy influence from Mashcore, Digicore, Nightcore, and a myriad of EDM subgenres, most predominantly Future Bass. The vast majority of Dariacore songs are examples of the idea of a "song flip", a practice in which the author of a song heavily samples an existing song (or songs), but in the process, changes the genre, mood, or in some other way makes it their own. Dariacore often uses samples easily recognizable amongst young heavy internet users, such as EDM, Pop music, and samples popularized by YouTube Poops and SoundClowns. The aesthetics of the genre are often heavily inspired by the presentation of the leroy page on SoundCloud. Accounts are often themed around a character or piece of media, with screenshots from said media acting as cover art for songs.

As of January 2022, usage of Dariacore to refer to a genre has become contentious after leroy abandoned the label, saying "it would make sense to call it dariacore if everyone made their cover arts daria. do u get what i mean and why it doesnt make sense." As of writing, the most popular alternative label is "hyperflip", but many still continue to label their music as Dariacore, or simply only use a personalized tag.

Dariacore is a microgenre of digicore and EDM, focused on sampling sources recognizable within internet circles.
