**Foxcore** is a 1990s rock music genre of bands featuring female singers. According to Joanne Gottlieb and Gayle Wald, the term was coined as a joke by [Thurston Moore](/source/Thurston_Moore) during the early 1990s to describe a wave of loud and aggressive female-fronted bands that was occurring at the time. Failing to understand Moore's humorous intent, and confusing it with the [Riot Grrrl](/source/Riot_Grrrl) movement of that era, the media picked up on the term.[1][2]

The term was criticized by [Courtney Love](/source/Courtney_Love) in a 1991 interview for [CKUT Radio](/source/CKUT-FM) for being sexist and tokenizing.[3]
