Thrashcore is an extremely fast subgenre of hardcore punk and saw its beginnings after the decline of punk rock in the early 1980s, when hardcore punk began to take off in Washington, D.C. and California. Early bands categorized as "thrash," such as many of the New York bands, played fast(er) hardcore punk and considered themselves separate from the other, more traditional bands, such as Black Flag. Some bands incorporated elements of thrash metal into their sound, which came to be known as crossover. Many of the most influential crossover bands began as influential thrashcore bands, such as Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (D.R.I.).

625 Thrashcore, Havoc, Hardcore Holocaust, Ebullition, Crimes Against Humanity, Slap a Ham, and Unfun Records have been known to release thrashcore albums.
