Best grindcore songs of the 2010s

Streaming rewrote every incentive underneath a record: its length, its release date, whether it needed a single at all. Trap production became pop's default rhythm, and a lot of the decade's best artists arrived through a laptop rather than a label.

Songs from the grindcore albums of the 2010s, ordered by their own ratings rather than the record's.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
