From Wikipedia

Electronicore (also known as synthcore or trancecore) is a fusion genre of metalcore music with elements of various electronic music genres, often including trance, electronica, and dubstep. Electronicore emerged in the early 2000s. The British band Enter Shikari, founded in 2003, is considered a pioneer. However, several online magazines attribute a pioneering role in this genre to the band I See Stars, due to their debut album 3-D, which was very well known within the scene.
