Grindcore, as such, was developed during the mid-1980s in the United Kingdom by Napalm Death, a group who emerged from the anarcho-punk scene in Birmingham, England.
Grindcore ako taký vyvinula v polovici 80. rokov v Spojenom Kráľovstve skupina Napalm Death, ktorá vzišla s anarcho-punkovej scény v Birminghame v Anglicku.
