hardcore

Hardcore used to refer to a more intense version of punk, but has since branched off into a new genre. Vocals are usually screechy, lyrics usually histrionic (exaggerated and often inappropriate displays of emotional reactions, approaching theatricality) and whiny, music often switches between very quiet and very loud in a single song. Many hardcore kids are also self righteous and humourless about being straight edge, to the point of condemning those who choose a different lifestyle. They wear black primarily, and sometimes a scarf/bandanna in the back pocket. They are often pierced or tattoed as an alternative to ingesting intoxicants.
Hardcore bands: My Chemical Romance, Alexisonfire, Girls Against Boys, Q And Not U, The Used, Refused, Thursday, Thrice

Oh em gee, that band is so hardcore! Let's throw down!

Hardcore Parkour

What the cool kids do. Can be messing around acting hardXcore or just chillin'.

Jack: Yo dude, what you up to 2nite then?
Jim: Doin' some hardcore parkour. You?
Jack: Just Xbox. I guess I'm not as rad or gnarly as you.

Harcore

"Har" is one half of "har har" which signifies laughing. "Core" is the middle, essence, or center of something.

"Harcore" therefore was intended to represent the idea of "half-of-one-laugh in the center" or "One half-laugh in the center".

I know you've all heard Kurt Ballou's recordings and I think we can all agree that they're much too harcore sounding -- and that's one half-laugh in the center too much for me.

hardcore

harcore is influcenced by real punk and real metal(I'm not trying to say that the genre is fake by the way my just saying it's a branch off), this genre mixes both which overall makes some half decent music. but its a genre that has suddenly become very popluar and you can't tell the posers from the truely hardcore kids. But the thing that worries me about harcore is its branch off is EMO!

some hardcore bands are: Walls Of Jericho, Terror, Madball, Comeback Kid, Bleeding Through.

Fucktard who spends way too much time playing shitty FPS games and way too little time having sex.
