- 2021 November 5, Ed Power, “Trailercore: how anodyne, slowed-down covers ruined pop music”, in The Telegraph:
- The “slowed-down cover” is a contagion that has spread through music to the point where it is acknowledged as its own self-contained genre: “trailercore”. / The first confirmed example of trailercore was in 2001, when Gary Jules’s tilt at Tears For Fears’s Mad World soundtracked an ad for the video game Gears of War.
