Despite the wide range of music under this umbrella, consistent elements include high tempos, samples derived from video games and anime, colorful kawaii imagery and album graphics, and the general borrowing of elements from otaku culture. Hardcore music created outside of Japan that incorporates these elements is also often labeled as J-core on platforms where users can upload and tag their own music.</p>
