mallcore

A derogatory term used, primarily by metalheads, to describe music that is often mistakenly considered metal.

Originally the term referred to nu-metal bands, such as Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Papa Roach and Slipknot. More recently the term can be applied to screamo, emo and metalcore bands such as Bullet for my Valentine, The Used, Avenged Sevenfold and Senses Fail.

The defining feature of such bands is that they make angsty, commercially-orientated hard rock targeted at "rebellious" teenagers.

14-year-old kid with dyed-red shoulder-length hair and black skinny jeans: "I'm a metalhead, fuck the world!"

26-year-old metalhead: "Fuck off kid, you don't know shit about metal! You just listen to some bullshit mallcore. Power metal, speed metal, folk metal, black metal, death metal, thrash metal... those are all real metal genres. The shit you listen to isn't even close!"

14-year-old kid: "Jeez, man, thanks for the lecture you fucking nerd!"

Mallcore Kids

Usually a group of 10 year old to teenage kids who wear mallcore t-shirts and fake that their lives are awful. They often hang out in groups and are among the "popular" kids, but think that they are alienated and are utterly friendless. While mallcore kids are generally annoying and are shallow, uninteresting people, the mallcore girls are usually pretty hot.

"Mallcore kid," in metal circles, is often used as an insult against someone who doesn't know much about metal, or likes a metal band that is considered to be mallcore. While most metalheads have at least one "mallcore" band that they listen to or enjoy as a guilty pleasure, these cannot be considered mallcore kids because they are, all in all, metalheads.

Mallcore kids can be spotted by their often emo hairstyle, a "Limp Bizkit," "Korn," or post-Black Album "Metallica" T-shirt. They also tend to say "Slipknot is the heaviest f---ing band ever." (Let me say, right now, that Slipknot is not a mallcore band.) While you might see a kid in one of these T-shirts, ensure to ask them about a real metal band before judging them as a mallcore kid. If they have emo or dyed black hair, don't bother.

Most mallcore kids tend to be shallow in their music tastes, so they definitely aren't someone to get involved with if you are a music junky.

Mallcore

Mainstream rock music that is corporately controlled, and usually a cynical attempt to cash in on hit mainstream trends. The word comes from the music being played in terrible mall stores like Hot Topic. Peoples' main problem with mallcore is stupid tweens and teenagers acting like it's the hardest, most badass rock in the universe and the record labels promoting it as such. Usually, it refers to the genres of nu-metal, metalcore and post-grunge. While good bands do exist in these genres, mallcore refers, frequently, to the most grating, stereotypical and shitty examples.

Nickelback, Limp Bizkit, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Shinedown, Staind and Trivium are all mallcore garbage.

Mallcore

Kids that hang out at the mall and suck each other off while listening to slipknot and think they are tough as nails.

If you cant name a local band from your hometown chances are you are not hardcore... You are mallcore.

Mallcore bands: killswitch engage, shadows fall, all that remains, horse the band, deicide, bleeding through... And so on.

Disclaimer: just because your band is in hot topic doesn't make you mallcore. But if the average person that likes your band is under 15 and has parachute pants eye makeup and dyed hair you are now popular enough to be considered a mallcore band. This does not make your band bad but it only drives away real music fans and older crowds from buying your cds and going to your shows.

Mallgoth: Dude i was at the killswitch engage show and some local band opened and were mad good. Too bad i spent my allowance on kse merch. Otherwise i might have bought that local bands cd.

Sean Connery: thats because your mallcore ya wee fuckin girl!!
