Beatdown/Moshcore/Tough Guy Hardcore is a sub genre of Hardcore Punk. It focuses on slow downtuned Entombed style riffing and breakdowns. Mostly it's just mosh parts for dudes to crowd kill and fail their arms too. As a genre, it's so far removed from Hardcore Punk as there is literally no Punk in it. Bands included: Never Ending Game, Pain of Truth, Shattered Realm, Drain, Throwdown, Earth Crisis, 100 Demons, Bury Your Dead, Sunami, Bulldoze, etc.
Person 1: Hey, are you going to Tied Down this weekend?

Not quite deathcore but a very heavy hardcore
EnemyMind, Line Of Scrimmage, Cinderblock, Bearclaw, and Bulldoze are all Beatdown Hardcore bands

Hardcore sub-genre formed after year 2000. Typical for it it's really hard sound, slower tempo, explicit and violent lyrics, breakdowns and little select of hard guitar riffs.

Lyrics are mostly about tough life, humanity, money, friends, power, lies,... Pretty much influenced by hip hop culture and music. Nowadays crossed with trap rap.
On the gigs there are more typical harder type of moshing (slam, crowd killing, capoera moves,...)

Bands like Nasty, Words Of Concrete, Cold Hard Truth,...
A - "Hey! I was at the Words Of Concrete gig yesterday!"

B - "Great! That's the beatdown hardcore band, right? I bet there were many freaks crowd killing each other. "
A - "Indeed. And also there were a merch shop. They sold their new album Negative Vibes on vinyl record!"
