Digital hardcore music is typically fast and abrasive, combining the speed, heaviness and [[Punk subculture#Ideologies|attitude]] of [[hardcore punk]], [[thrash metal]], and [[riot grrrl]]<ref name="dhr" /><ref>"I was totally into the riot grrrl music, I see it as a very important form of expression. I learned a lot from that, way more maybe than from 'male' punk rock."

According to Jeff Terich of ''Treble Media'', digital hardcore is "on the verge of reaching speeds incompatible with popular music, as if the rapid acceleration of BPMs would render the idea of rhythm irrelevant or, at the very least, unpredictable.

The [[electric guitar]] (either real or sampled and usually heavily [[Distortion (music)|distorted]]) is used alongside [[Sampler (musical instrument)|samplers]], [[synthesizer]]s and [[drum machine]]s. While the use of electronic instruments is a defining feature of the genre, [[bass guitar]]s, [[electric guitar]]s, and [[drum kit]]s are optional. Vocals are more often shouted than sung by more than one member of the group. Typically, the lyrics are highly politicized and espouse [[left-wing]] or [[anarchism|anarchist]] ideals.<ref name="dhr" /> Some practitioners have been influenced by [[anarcho-punk]].<ref name="treblezine.com"/>
