Error37 is a pivotal figure in the Australian 'Nintendocore' and electronicore scene, originating from Melbourne in 2013. Their sound identity is built on the intersection of metalcore's rhythmic aggression and the melodic vocabulary of vintage video game soundtracks.
They are often compared to HORSE the band for their use of chiptune elements, but Error37 leans more heavily into the 'scenecore' aesthetics of the 2010s, utilizing cleaner production and more traditional post-hardcore song structures. The band's career arc saw them rise during the tail end of the electronicore boom, maintaining a cult following through high-energy live performances and a series of releases with absurdist, long-form titles. Critically, they are viewed as a high-water mark for the genre's technical execution, blending live instrumentation with complex programming. Their influence is felt most strongly in the niche internet communities dedicated to 'core' subgenres that embrace digital maximalism and internet-humor-driven lyricism.
