Acrobatic, kung-fu style dancing to hardcore music such as Blood for Blood, Earth Crisis and 25 ta Life, but has leaked into metallic hardcore, nu-metal/metal and emo scenes over time. Generally reserved for macho dudes, dudes trying to get into a fight, or dudes trying to impress other dudes with their "skills". Types of hardcore dancing includes spin kicks, "picking up change", pile-ons, as well as other physically challenging (and often hilarious to watch) martial-arts style moves. Can be enjoyed by straightedge and non-straightedge dudes alike, yet girls seem to shy away from displaying such behaviors too often.
"Dude, we totally wall-of-death'ed those meathead fucks who were hardcore dancing at that Municipal Waste show."

Get the Hardcore Dancing mug.Originally a traditional war dance done during breakdowns at hardcore shows. Unfortunately this once sacred dance can be seen at emo and metal shows. The fine dance has been leaked into the mainstream and everyone and their mother thinks they can dance now. Very few people can actually dance well now (see Philadephia).

Get the hardcore dancing mug.A stupid form of "dancing" done by emo kids at "hardcore" shows cause they're too sissy to actually mosh. The saddest part about it is that they actually think they're cool when they do it, when in fact it's the complete opposite.
Stupid Emo - "The Aiden show last night was amazing! I was hardcore dancing the whole time! I'm such a badass!"
Non-Fag that doesn't hardcore dance - "Wow. You're an idiot."

Get the Hardcore Dancing mug.A type of dance performed at non-punk hardcore shows. It involves violent FLAILING of the arms and legs with no reguard to your friends around you. It was developed to blatantly show you do not belong in the punk subculture and have no roots to it. It is used by kids who are too stupid to learn to skank or circle pit properly. Its not cool in any way and a year later when you "grow out" of whatever fad is big in hardcore, you realize how much of an ass you looked like the whole time. The typical person hardcore dancing is one of the older members of the scene who played in a band but they left the fad and he remains. He doesn't have anything going for him and really only dances to try and impress the young and impressionable girls at the shows. A grade A loser fashion Dance.
"yeah, my buddy just broke my nose for the third time, but its cool because were so hardcore and hes really good at hardcore dancing. Good thing we dont go to those lame punk shows where everyones friends and have a good time. All the big bands said its dead anyway. By the way my moms ordering me a hockey mask soon for shows. She says I have to get a job before I turn 23 next month or I cant have it though. And I cant bring home any more 15 year old girls after 9:30 on weeknights. Other than that I love my life."

Get the hardcore dancing mug.fighting with the invisible ninjas all around you. This is done to bands such as terror, e-town concrete, unearth, and bands that yell a lot.
jeez, i went to the e-town concrete show last night, and i got kicked in the stomach by a skinny kid wearing girl pants, and a red bandanna like a cowboy, and a army hat, and a shirt way too small for him. I then went into the pit, hardcore danced for a bit, then simply punched him in the face and walked out.
point proven? hardcore dancing is fun until you get hurt.
