1.) {noun} Originating, as mentioned below, as a joke. The joke was then blown out of proportion and is now used as a derogatory term used to pigeonhole bands where the obligatory dress code is not camo pants, hoodie, and baseball cap that obscures vision.
Note the absence of a name that describes the music, and not the appearance.
Term is most often used by elitist, 'veritable hardcore kids' on forums flaunting their virility, whilst calling other 'pussy fags' for listening to music that they disapprove of.
Bands that have dealt with this label are, Eighteen Visions, Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. In an interview with Outburn Issue #26, lead singer of 18V, James Hart clarifies for the masses:
Q: "What do you guys think of the term fashioncore being used to describe Eighteen Visions in the past?"
A: "It's retarded. Some kids started making shirts with that on there. It had nothing to do with us. Kids thought we were making that shirt. We're not fans of the term at all. How does the sound of your music have anything to do with the way you look? It doesn't."
2.) {adj.} Used to describe poorly misguided scenesters who hold their white studded belt in greater esteem than their highschool education. Often seen congregating with others of their kind, being as elitist as their adversaries (see above). In vernacular, also known as tool, or douchebag.
As is obvious with scene and the complete idiocy that surrounds music these days, physical presentation of a stereotype has become a higher priority than the music itself.
And essentially, isn't ALL music fashioncore? Look at the pop stars today, Scott Weiland of STP and Marilyn Manson. Isn't what they wear intended to be provocative and differ from the norm?
Yeah. That's what I thought.

Get the fashioncore mug.The phrase given to someone with little fashion sense, making hideous mistakes such as wearing vans skate shoes, fit for 10 year olds. These people often support Portsmouth, who teeter on the brink of renegation. They have been known to support the gestapo and praise Hitler as a leader.

Get the fashonzo mug.A term used to define a woman with a penchant for shopping and a natural flair for combining both current and vintage fashionable trends.
In today's Urban society, "fashionista" is not by any means a negative term.
Thanks to television shows like "Sex and the City" rather more specifically, thanks to actresses such as Sarah Jessica Parker, the image of a "fashionista" has been modernized into a much more positive, powerful and successful feminine role.
Forget the shallow, bitchy, materialistic image so many people are quick to describe.
The truth is, it's the new millenium and the hottest trend right now, is that it's okay to be a woman again. The "fashionista" doesn't look at her femininity as a gender flaw.
Where some may be quick to label her a bitch, others actually take the time to get to know her eccentricities.
"Fashionista's" simply look at Fashion as an Art, their own bodies as the canvas, and the sense of style they develope along the way is simply the masterpiece.
True fashion ("true fashion" as in the clothes and not the stereotypically thin supermodels that wear them) is simply an expression of identity and the people who feel the need to argue that are usually the same people who rarely see the positive in anything.
"Fashionista's" are extremely realistic when it comes to the world of fashion, they're also very knowledgeable about the Fashion Arts.
A person's not automatically materialistic just because they buy a designer suit or expensive jeans, it's often truer about "fashionista's" that they just happen to know (what is called) a "good hand" in fashion. All that means is that the person buying the item is aware of the "quality" of that item.

Buying good quality clothes, that sort of fashion, is not shallow. It's an investment.
A fashionista thinks like this...
Why pay five dollars for say, a white non-label t-shirt when it's just going to shrink or the hem's going to unravel or because it was only five dollars you don't really care about throwing it into the wash with your reds? When you can buy a say, a thirty dollar white CK t-shirt that's in all probability going to last a little longer, won't unravel, and because it was thirty dollars you'll actually care to read the "Care Tag" to see how you can better protect your investment (wash in hot water, with like colours, and most importantly HANG TO DRY)!

Get the fashionista mug.A gay male who wants to date someone and not just hookup on the first meeting. Said man would love to go on many dates and get to know the other human-being he's sitting across from. Essentially the "old fashioned gay" wants to " court" their potential mate and find what " makes them tick". The OFG is not interested in any form of Hookup, even if presented the chance. The OFG is a rare breed and the KOG( kind of guy) your mother wants for you and the KOG you want to bring home to meet the family and friends. The OFG is slow in the beginning but once he knows you, be prepared to have your world rocked! THE OFG: Timeless.......... gram em when you find em, and husband them up before someone finds them. Because, you; have just landed, the illusive; OFG.
Joe is going to bring Dan to that new car museum that's opening today, Dan mentioned on their first date that he(Dan) loves old muscle cars, so Joe secretly bought opening day tickets for them months in advance. Man Joe is such an Old fashioned gay, who else would remember that from a first date?

Girls wearing t-shirts and jeans shivering at a northern football game in late October are fashionably frozen. (A coat and gloves might make them less attractive to the boys.)
