Spoken-word-core
Mnementh:
I'd just like to state, on the record, that I think adding -core to a word to describe a genre of music is absolutely fucking dumbtarded.
hardcore:
1. Intensely loyal; die-hard: a hard-core secessionist; a hard-core golfer.
2. Stubbornly resistant to improvement or change: hard-core poverty.
3. Extremely graphic or explicit: hard-core pornography.

No, but I'm getting VERY interested. XP
That Mars Volta quote was hilarious.
Spencer:
--- Quote from: Praeserpium Machinarum ---Does Soul Coughing as "spoken-word-core" because then I think you should go listen to them, right now!

I dont think its fair to apply "core" to them, but I think they are an appropriate band to discuss in this topic. M. Doughty is an incredible..um... word spoker? talker? um...you cant really call him a singer, but you know what I mean.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
I think poet is apt, maybe even beat poet... or perhaps poetry slammer?

That's a pretty bad criticism. Metal isn't made by robots, or even people using exclusively metal instruments. Drum and bass often uses more than just those instruments. House isn't played exclusively where people live... you get where I'm going with this. Adding '-core' to a musical genre identifies it as a subset of the larger genre hardcore, and although it might not have made it into the dictionary yet it's well-known enough by now for people to understand at least vaguely what it means.
However, I don't think we need another new '-core' every time someone does something slightly different (and spoken word over hardcore music is far from that).
