Pedocore describes music highly commercial in sound yet often unsuccessful among anyone but gender-confused under-16's who say things like "*cuddles*" and "omfgz." "Core," here, does not, as in most genres refer to a hardcore influence but is instead intended to serve as a means of acquiring credibility. When used in a wider sense, influential artists, such as Gary Glitter, also fall into the genre not through image or sound but through their physical love of children. .
