Foxcore is a word coined by Thurston Moore to describe a style of alternative rock.[1]

The style has the essential sound of grunge.[citation needed] It is also associated with riot grrrl, because the bands are all-girl, female-fronted, or are made up mainly of females. Foxcore, however, does not always have the feminist power of riot grrrl. Nor does it always have the apathetic attitude of grunge.[citation needed]

Foxcore became popular in the early 1990s, due to the musical climate of pop culture at that time.[citation needed]

The influence of foxcore is still found in underground bands today, though the bands of the scene are not as recognized as in the past.[citation needed]
