"lolicore" meaning in English

See lolicore in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From loli + -core. Last.fm claims it was coined by Loli Ripe in 2006 and their RYM artist profile says they were an anonymous 4chan poster - which doesn't seem unrealistic as the place of its origin, at least as far as the more western scene (which seems to be where the term "lolicore" came from). Etymology templates: {{af|en|loli|-core|id2=music}} loli + -core Head templates: {{en-noun|-}} lolicore (uncountable)
  1. (music) A subgenre of breakcore that is characterised by heavily distorted and pitch-shifted samples, typically taken from anime, and often inspired by Japanese otaku culture. Tags: uncountable Categories (topical): Musical genres
