Perhaps the earliest known UrExample of the genre is Music/{{Gryphon}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXIe-GNv0e4 medieval cover]] of Music/TheBeatles' "Mother Nature's Son" back in 1975. The origins of contemporary bardcore can be traced back to a medieval-style rendition of Music/SystemOfADown's "Toxicity", which racked up millions of views on [[Website/{{YouTube}} [=YouTube=]]] and was published by Algal the Bard in 2017. The genre saw a spike in popularity that coincided with multiple country lockdowns of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, starting with Cornelius Link's cover of "Astronomia" in April of 2020. Soon, multiple independent artists started publishing their own medieval-esque remixes of pop songs, everything from Music/FosterThePeople's "Pumped Up Kicks" to Music/LadyGaga's "Bad Romance". Creator/TheBBC even featured tracks from popular Bardcore artists on BBC Radio 1.
