Mumblecore is a subgenre of independent film^[1]^[2] characterized by naturalistic acting and (sometimes improvised) dialogue, low budgets, an emphasis on dialogue over plot, and a focus on the personal relationships of young adults. Filmmakers associated with the genre include Andrew Bujalski, Lynn Shelton, the Duplass brothers Mark and Jay, Greta Gerwig, Aaron Katz, Joe Swanberg,^[1]^[3]^[4] and Ry Russo-Young. In many cases, though, these directors reject the term.^[5] The genre is a mostly American phenomenon.^[6] The related term mumblegore has been used for films mixing the mumblecore and horror genres.^[7] It's also a type of music, typically hip hop, where the vocalists tend to mumble their lyrics.
