A bastardized genre of music in which the distorted guitars and agressive vocals of hardcore and heavy metal are dumbed down musically and then packaged to be marketable to angst-ridden teens. The name is derived from the "-core" system often used to name metal and punk varients such as hardcore, metalcore and emocore, and is so named because it targets your standard mall-going teens rather than real music enthusiasts, who nearly unanimously dismiss it as garbage. It can be characterized by chugging riffs based around basic (and often no) progression, and angsty yelled or rapped vocals. The lyrical content often complains about the unfairness of teenage situation, parents, school, or in rare cases politics. There is very little place for any musical innovation, and electronic effects and samples have taken the place of guitar solos and the like in 90% of the genre's bands.

Get the Mallcore mug.A modern form of music, influenced, but wholly separate from Heavy Metal that incorporates rap, funk, simplified song structures, and subject matter geared towards the teens and youth of America. Topics often include alienation, parental abuse, and "the pain inside." Watch for simple rhyme patterns and a general lack of innovation. The oversaturation of the market with mallcore in analogous to the takeover of glam rock in the late 80s and early 90s as record companies scrambled to make a quick profit. The roots of mallcore go back to Anthrax's "I'm the Man" as well as Faith No More's "Epic." These visible hits which fused metal and rap inadvertently caused a tidal wave. Bands such as Korn and such spinoffs soon began to take over the market with detuned and substandard products. As the style of music overtook a naive fanbase, many bands, formerly true to heavy metal, began to lean towards mallcore tendencies. These bands, such as Metallica, In Flames, and others made their sound more accessible by simplifying their work and adding aspects of electronica, whispered vocals, simple chugging riffs, and taking focus off of lead guitars. This style of music as of late has been decreasing in popularity, as record companies have opted to move on to other styles of music. Most likely the style will experience a revival in the next decade as bands realize they have no money, having spent it in their prime. Revival tours and reunions will be common, and the pain of the past will be experienced once again.

Get the Malleo mug.A little bitch who enjoys packaged rebellion and dressing like a faggot. Soon to be anhillated by legions of Metal Heads, Manowar Fans, Drunken Rednecks, and Stoner Gangs.
It seems like that Manowar fan is running at those Mallcore kids with a battle axe screaming like a horny speed fiend.

Get the Mallcore Kids mug.If you ever find you a mallori you will find out that she is a beautiful,young woman of God, her laugh will captivate you it will be one of the things you love about her, along with her kindness, beauty, and patience. Her hair with its redish brown glow will mesmerize you. Although she might be defined as "bad luck" she is the exact opposite of that I know from personal experience. If you have a mallori in your life you have a precious and talented woman there.
I love how mallori is humble.

Get the Mallori mug.Joe Malloy is a godly expanse of shimmering manliness. Women climax when he looks their way, but stays true to whomever he's with. His penis tears lesser women apart. The sheer size of his ejaculation would rupture your kidneys and lungs.
