"[Contemporary breakcore has] incorporated so many disparate genres + sounds, including shoegaze, jazz, and punk, that it barely sounds like it did in its earliest days. 'Whether we like it or not, breakcore is going to—and already has—come to mean something different from what it originally was.'"
