Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 50–90 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in Rock, by tempo. If Sadcore / Slowcore does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Post-Rock70–140 BPM
Instrumental rock built on long crescendos. Clean delayed guitars slowly stack into an enormous distorted climax, usually with no vocals at all.
- Ethereal / Dream Pop70–120 BPM
Dreamy, weightless guitar music. Shimmering effected guitars, washes of reverb and chorus, and high, floating vocals where the words often matter less than the sound.
- Alternative Rock90–140 BPM
Melodic guitar rock outside the mainstream template — moody, dynamic, often quiet verses into loud choruses.
- Indie Rock100–150 BPM
Guitar rock with a scrappy, independent feel. Jangly or fuzzy tones, conversational vocals, modest production.
