Draft:Spacecore

Submission declined on 19 June 2025 by Rambley (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

Spacecore is an emerging music genre that combines ambient textures, futuristic sound design, and science fiction themes. It draws influence from electronic, experimental, and cinematic music, and is characterized by atmospheric production and lyrical focus on space, alien life, and cosmic exploration.

Origins and Style

Spacecore developed during the early 2020s through online music platforms and digital art communities. Initially overlapping with space-themed internet aesthetics and sci-fi fashion trends, it has since grown into a loosely defined genre of music tied to cosmic concepts.

Musically, Spacecore incorporates elements such as:

Ambient synths and slow, echoing textures
Electronic glitch effects and distorted transitions
Vocoder-processed vocals or robotic voices
Lyrical themes involving space travel, isolation, alien identity, and futuristic environments
Visual integration of space-age or interstellar performance settings

The genre often overlaps with Aliencore, Cyberpunk (music), and Synthwave, but is typically more atmospheric and cinematic in tone.

Notable Artists

Several music projects have been cited as aligning with Spacecore themes:

Botz – A U.S.-based virtual band known for glitch-based, drone-enhanced performances that feature robotic characters and alien lore. Their work often explores extraterrestrial identity and digital rebellion, associating them with both Spacecore and Aliencore aesthetics.^[1]

Starset – An American rock band known for their conceptual albums involving space travel, communication breakdowns, and dystopian futures. Their live shows incorporate astronaut-style suits, holograms, and sci-fi backdrops.^[2]

Rings of Saturn – A technical deathcore band that describes its style as “Aliencore,” blending fast-paced guitar sweeps with themes of extraterrestrial intelligence and alien warfare.^[3]

Cultural Context

Though not formally defined by mainstream music critics, Spacecore is commonly tagged on platforms such as SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Spotify to denote sci-fi-inspired ambient or experimental tracks. The genre has also gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram through playlists and visuals featuring space fashion and alien aesthetics.

A 2022 article from *Dazed Digital* noted that “space fashion” had become a dominant youth trend on TikTok, pointing to holographic fabrics, galaxy prints, and sci-fi symbolism in fashion.^[4] This visual identity often overlaps with Spacecore music in both concept and presentation.
