Hardcore Techno

Normally called "hardcore" to simplify, it was derived from techno as Europeans grew to like the aggressive tones and melodies. It originated in around the early-to-mid-1990s in multiple locations across the world. Hardcore is usually composed using music sequencers and many earlier tracks were produced on home computers. As hardcore continues to grow, each different type of hardcore (each subgenre) begins to attract a larger fan base and more support from producers. As new subgenres grow they can become extremely different than other subgenres that are also referred to as Hardcore. Not to be mistaken for Happyhardcore or happy, people use the term Hardcore Techno in the UK to describe it & separate from the more happy scene. It is mainly used in the harder rooms in the UK & has been one of the only styles of underground music that is still going strong to this day. Hardcore in different countrys as with all other styles has a slightly different meaning but is one of the only styles that dose what it says on the tin! UK hardcore can be quite dark sounding and is often mixed with hip-hop, The Deathchant Label is a good example of this. go to hardcore-central dot net for more

Hardcore Vaper

A "Hardcore Vaper" is someone who you don't ever see without their vape and they will use their vape 100% of the time.

B-Tizzle "puff-puff-puff"

Me "See you later man."

Hardcore Henry

One of the most unique action movies ever to grace humanity in the last century.

It follows Henry, a mute cyborg who has to save his girlfriend or something from an emo dude who can fly and do crazy shit.

It is shot entirely in a first-person perspective and is a blast to watch.
Hey dude, wanna watch Hardcore Henry on YouTube, it's amazing!

Why wouldn't I? I nutted everywhere when I saw it in theaters when it came out.

Hardcore Gaming

"Hardcore gaming" is an activity that involves learning every possible maneuver/ability/stage in a videogame not only to win, but to win efficiently, making the fewest mistakes and taking the least amount of time to win. Winning may be collecting items, downing opponents, completing levels etcetera. Winning can be any combination of these goals and may vary depending on the game.

Spending countless hours playing a game may be a result of hardcore gaming, but is not a requirement. Simply playing a game without striving to improve or master the game is not hardcore gaming. That would be casual gaming.

After or near mastery of the game, the player can be called a hardcore gamer for the said game.

Mary: Why is Danny repeatedly playing the same racetrack over and over with different cars? There are many more tracks in that game!

Austin: Well, isn't obvious that he's trying to learn the track and find the car best suited for that track? You don't know much about hardcore gaming, do you Mary?

hardcore dance

as unbiased as possible:

To my understanding, hardcore dancing originated with Circle pits where you basically ran left in a circle and flailed your arms into the onlookers. then towards the 90's modern hardcore dancing emerged. unlike the Souther californian circle pits, modern day moshing started in places like New York and Boston which had thriving hardcore scenes. with the rapid growth of the dance came the breakdowns. Bands soon had to incorporate sections where fans could dance a specific way. The breakdown usually has the guitarist/s playing a few repetitive chords on the lowest strings while the drummer hits the bass pedal each time the guitarist strums resulting in an almost militaristic, uniform sound which many fans can show off their newly learned moves.

The most common dance moves are:
2 step which basically crosses one foot in front of the other while staying in generally the same place and arms swing across.
the windmill is when you flail your arms forward to the beat of the song
picking up change: pretty self explanatory
spin kick, also self explanatory

the dancing can even be applied to deathmetal/hardcore hybrid bands. using hxc dance moves during fights is highly discourages as this is only a fashion.
Hardcore dancing is really common in sacramento. A lot of the time people go to judge bands by their ability to create music to dance to. Sacramento is just becoming filled with pretentious pricks

Hardcore Dance is gay
