You might this it’s Nintendo – the soundtracks to Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong sure can linger in one’s brain – but instead it’s Roblox, and the music (which took off in popularity with the addition of, you guessed it, TikTok), created the genre robloxcore. “Mostly made by young teenagers, it’s a strain of chaotic, profanity-laden rap that’s overloaded with frantic sound effects. Tunes like ‘Threat,’ by lieu, a 13-year-old musician, emulate being inside a digital dimension where every bass thud and synth shake is an enemy you’re blowing past, every vocal stutter and short-circuited squeak a new obstacle to avoid.” – The New York Times
