Darkcore is a music subgenre of jungle (not be confused with the more recent developments of hardcore) that became popular in the United Kingdom. It is recognized as being one of the direct precursors of the genre now known as drum and bass. Darkcore was a counter movement to happy which also evolved from breakbeat hardcore. The name was most likely derived from the track Darkcore by Two Dark Troopers released on Basement Records in 1993.[citation needed]
