Three types.

One] Original hardcore:

Listens to bands such as Minor Threat, Municiple Waste and Agnostic Front. Short hair or dreads. Wears sports trainers or worker boots. Occasionally DM's. Never pumps. Band hoodie, faded jeans/shorts. Very strong, fights alot.

2) Modern Hardcore:

Listens to band such as Enter Shikari, Cancer Bats and Gallows. Emo style haircuts with fringes over one eye or gunshots. Checkered lumberjack shirts or band shirts. And all over print tees. Band hoodie. Tight jeans or all over print shorts. Sports shorts too. Big belt buckles. Pumps or Nike trainers. Vans too. Flatpeak hats or baseball caps. Appeals to extreme sports such as skating, parkour and surfing. Likes to mosh. Proper mosh, not emo moshing. But not fighting like original hardcore. Likes the idea on knuckledusters but doesnt fight.

3] Emo Hardcore: Likes band such as Bullet For My Valentine, 30 Seconds to Mars and Slipknot. Refuses to admit to being an emo. Wants to be a metalhead but got rejected. Wears tight jeans, shirts and hoodies. Pumps and Vans. Studded belts. Gunshot haircuts or real emo fringes. Black hair only. Basically, an emo who doesnt want to be called an emo and was rejected by the metalheads.

Any person who listens to hardcore. They listen to Righteous Jams, Champion, Set Your Goals, Hoods, Donnybrook, The Warriors, Bury Your Dead, etc. They go to shows frequently and mosh. They wear sport shorts or camo and always wear band shirts. They do not have extensions or any of that pussy shit but shave their heads. Most of the time core kids are ex scenesters or ex punk looking for a true music scene. they do wear tight jeans but not their sisters, thats for pussies. They 2 step and spink kick and the majority like Positive music and claim Straightedge.

lets see a true hardcore kid does not wear tight pants thats gay scene bullshit. and crews are not a part of hardcore. true hardcore kids don't follow a trend and they don't have to dance at shows to be hardcore. hardcore is about not following trends. it's about being free from the masses. and you don't have to be edge to be hardcore anyone can be edge.this is the true definiton of a hardcore kid they don't give a fuck what you think. they do what they want to. they don't follow your stupid trends. and they don't join stupid crews.

a kid who listens to hardcore/metal heavy music: throwdown, the bled, bleeding through, as i lay dying, nora, darkest hour. stuff like that. they are usually dressed in black band t shirts and blue jeans. but some may dress whatever they want. they go to hardcore shows and hardcore dance which is where they punch air and do ninja kicks. they are not afraid of getting hurt and will always stand up for themselves. they are tough and they dont care what people think of them. they hate being called emo and they will always start shxt for that. but they are also never uptight in anything. they are never mad at anyone and usually never hate. they are usually funny and fun to be with and also like to have fun. random things are their favorites. they are just like most normal people but they wont take shxt from anyone.

1. a "kid" even if only at heart, who stands up for something they believe in.
2. someone who enjoys hardcore music
3. someone who is obsessed with something

not necessarily "punk" or "emo"

a young person who listens to frantic and hevy music. when at gigs, a hardcore kid will punch an kick the air in a spectacular fashion. however, in a breakdown several hardcore kids will enter a pit and kick the shit out of each other. hardcore kids are the toughest of any alternative person. but beware: there are many bogus hardcore kids about! its rather popular to be one nowadays

A fan of the hardcore music scene. Sometimes, but not always, straight-edge. Their clothing is usually either basketball shorts and track shoes for freedom of movement while hardcore dancing or tight pants and a band t-shirt. Bands can include, but are not limited to, Throwdown, Terror, Hatebreed, Norma Jean, Between the Buried and Me, etc.

A true douche bag of the metal scene. Usually seen in a sleeveless band shirt and basketball/gym shorts. At a show they will "mosh" by flailing their arms and legs about with complete disregard of anyone trying to actually listen to the music but when they hit one of these bystanders they will disappear into their group for fear of fighting one on one. The exception (and the true definition of piece of shit douche fag) is the few who bring ski masks and a posse dressed exactly like them so they can walk up and hit girls in the face. If you see someone with a ski mask on at a hardcore show...beat their ass mercilessly upon sight.
