A genre of music slowly popping up in USA in a way to combat this copy-each-other-to-be-cool mentality in the scene and emo cultures. HArdcore is what all the bands call themselves now days so this genre moves away from that and just does the crazy stuff the feel. Any idiot will call a band in this genre hardcore but they aren't they are their own thing

Get the Core-lowmug. Often intersecting with dadrock, VH1-core can be described as any artist that's practically worshipped on a VH1 special, such as I Love the 70s/80s/90s, or any Top 100 countdown. Bands in this genre often have merchandise sold in any and every popular clothing store.
Fans of VH1-core are people that listen to the most popular music from an era without realizing that the era (such as hair metal or grunge) is dead, there is still good music being made nowadays aside from the same ten artists mentioned, and that it can be found if they actually bothered to look for it instead of listening to the same rock radio stations until the end of time.
Though VH1-core is not synonymous with dadrock, many dadrock bands are revered by VH1 programming, inciting the comparison. Modern bands referred to as VH1-core can include Foo Fighters, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, The White Stripes, Wolfmother, Audioslave, etc.
Related terms include JCPenney-core and Guitar Hero-core.

Person A: "Oh, man, I love music! I'm really into Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, The Clash, Guns 'n' Roses, Bob Marley, Audioslave, the list could go on..."
Person B: "Sounds like typical VH1-core."

Get the VH1-coremug. Filth Core or Filthcore is the online fandom far opposite end of the slider from Purity Culture, with both views being solidly insane, and normal people existing in places between the two.
Where Purity Culture equates fiction with reality IE: people who like villains must support those bad actions in real life, Filth Core argues fiction can't effect reality at all, so there's never a 'bad' presentation of relationships, beliefs, or actions that can hurt people or shape perception. IE: even 24 hour consumption of underage porn can never effect anyone's mental state or actions and there's no need to monitor how things affect you, propaganda is only a real world thing and you should lay off complaints about race representation and chill, or an author has no responsibility not to use bigoted tropes, as writing can't effect reality.
Filth Core users like to target kids who have been harassed by Purity Culture, because the desire to push back against that makes it easy. At worst, you find adults who encourage kids to sex roleplay with them as it 'can't possibly have any effect,' but mostly they're just really annoying assholes who refer to anyone who disagrees as 'religious' 'pearl clutchers' and 'children', and think they're incredibly intelligent. Very often shamelessly addicted openly to hentai.
Ironically, many will occasionally argue one specific thing they want an excuse to hate does effect reality, seemingly genuinely without noting the hypocrisy.

"So wait, you're not dating him anymore?"
"No...It turned out his big kink is border patrol raping people in custody."
"Wait, so you broke up just because you think his kink is gross?"
"Well--no, it wasn't that; it's that he watches and reads porn for it for hours EVERY day, and I felt like it was getting really unhealthy and kind of creepy, especially since I'm not white. But, when I brought it up, he got really mad and chewed me out about being self-righteous and judgy and stupid, and went on and on about how fiction can't affect real actions like some kind of Filth Core freak."
"Oh. Yeah. Dump his ass and RUN."

Get the Filth Coremug. A group of badass individuals that come together and isolate from other friends just to be closer to each other. The core group just happens and others envy their connection. Core Groups often have group messages to share inside jokes along with a hashtag #CG
