Many thing HC has to do with being Emo but its not.. They just have the same style..

a Hardcore kid is classified as any person that listens to the Hardcore, Post Hardcore and Grindcore genres in particular...

an HxC kids style...

Normally Tight Fitting Band T's
Girl Jeans
A Bandanna
Big Hair
Differant Color Hair
Chuck Taylor converse or Slip on Vans
-------
However there are still tons of hardcore kids that dont follow that trend... Like me for example..
-----
Hardcore music is defined by... A Screaming genre of punk were there are severe tempo changes, screaming, drop D tuned guitars, drop C tuned guitars, Amazing drumming normally suggested by there amazing double bass and dirty cords galore from the guitars...

some good examples of hxc bands are...

Norma Jean
Black Dalhia Murder more metalcore then hardcore
As I Lay Dying
Sinking Ships
Agnostic Front
Madball
Sick of it All
Ion Dissonance more grindcore

those are just a few examples...

Now on to HxC Dancing..

Hardcore dancing is in some styles just idiots hitting the air, but some styles of hardcore dance are very unique here in Indiana the hardcore dancing scene does way more technical moves than just punching and kicking the air, We do things called... Chicken Wings, Doublefront, Fourlegged and tons of other creative moves however some people are in the misconception that Hardcore dancing was designed to be completely unrevalent to Hardcore music... THIS IS WRONG, Almost any good HxC dancer is on beat just like normal dancing...

- That ends my definetion of Hardcore...
Hardcore Kid 1 Wearing a Polo : Holy shit that was fucking crazy did you hear that drummers double bass...
Hardcore Kid 2 wearing band T : Fuck yes...
Hardcore Kid 3 wearing no shirt : Check out me throwing it down with these sick moves.. * pulls a chicken wing into a Pick up pennies then throws in a double front*...
Hardcore Kid 2 : DAMMMMN
Hardcore Kid 1 Wearing a polo : Im still a hardcore kid and we are hardcore kids because im wearing a polo!

A hardcore kid is someone who loves bands like whitechapel, parkway drive, carnifex and many things untold. They go to small intimate gigs at tiny venues.
Hardcore girls tend to have straight hair. They normally wear skinny jeans, dolly shoes or slip ons, checkered shirts and a hoodie. It's a little like indie style.
Hardcore guys have straight hair which normally has a fringe that sweeps across their face. They wear, skinny jeans, bootcut jeans or shorts, band tees or shirts, slip ons or skate shoes and a hoodie.
Hardcore kids hate scene kids and think they are just a bunch of posers.

Be careful not to get hardcore and indie mixed up.

a currently underground, up-and-coming tv series, rumored to hit the web sometime in the near future..hopefully next fall. it started in the boondocks of maine by a group of teenagers. so far it's only really been heard of in maine and parts of massachusetts, (as far as i know) but it's pretty sweet. it takes place in a made up city based in california called QV, and it's about teenage life. it's a really genunine, raw show, they're not afraid to swear and talk about feelings, and the humor's really sick.
"I wonder what you're doing, right now. Maybe you're practicing your perfect model
face. I like the "I'm happy to see you, spike" face a lot better, myself. Or the real smile. The smile
that I'll probably never see again. Not your "Go to hell" smile, either. Your real, geniune smile. You're pretty no matter what, but you're thirty times as beautiful when you smile..it brings back memories.
Memories that sometimes I want to cling to- and sometimes I wish would just leave me alone.
They're haunting me. Everywhere I turn, everything I look at, everywhere I go- there's something
that makes me think of you. It triggers me. Into thinking..what could we have been? Could that have been me?"

a quote from spike, one of my fav. characters.^ the hardcore kids gets pretty damn intense but i love it. :)

ok, post hardcore kids are definitely NOT emo. they are kind of like hardcore kids, but not as hardcore...for lack of a better word. they listen to more melodic hardcore music. but that doesn't mean that they can't listen to hardcore music too. also, there's no set style for a post hardcore kid. they can wear whatever. its only a genre of music. hardcore is a style though.
post hardcore kid: oh man, i love the beautiful mistake.
other guy: yeah, they're great in concert.

A Post-Hardcore kid is a teenager who listens to alot of "core" music, especially "Post-Hardcore". They are definite about their character, and they dont really follow a basic trend. They don't "Hardcore Dance", put on make-up, wear EXTREMELY tight pants, and they definitely don't say they are "bisexual" just because everybody else is. They like to be themselves. Although they listen to alot of "scene" music, they are not scene. They do wear skinny jeans (but not excruciatingly tight ones), usually vans, band tees or graphic tees, and maybe sometimes they straighten their hair. So I 'guess' they do basically follow a trend, but not as much as "scenesters" or "hardcore kids". Yes, they might listen to more heavy music like "Emmure" or "Suicide Silence" sometimes, but they don't quickly label themselves. That's another thing. They don't label themselves. They wear and do what they want. So basically I don't know why I just labeled them as a "Post- Hardcore" kid. They don't really have name. (I just need something for the title) They like the bands for the music, not the screaming, not for the popularity, or not for just ONE song.

There really only a few of "these kids".
Post-Hardcore Kid was really not a good title.

a post hardcore kid is an emo kid who hates other emo kids. they refuse to believe that they themselves are emo even though they adhere strictly to the emo stereotype
Post hardcore kid 1: OMG that guy is such an emo fag
Post hardcore kid 2: yeah he even has the same shoes as you...
