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!

too tough to be emo

emo

can be positive or negative depending on whether or not you are a self absorbed terd who likes to show off you hardcoreness

in this case you might be a douchebag

douchebag

really heavy bands and fast picking with the ocasional blast beat. some bands are: job for a cowboy, black dahlia murder, elysia, and myspace.com/jeseleigh true def. of hardcore band!

used to diss an act/person/object considered cool by a certain sub-culture - considered rather pitiful by outsiders

Having, or of that which has, a hard center.

emos who got tired of being made fun of so they started lessening to shit music (screamo) or pig squares songs about nothing

damn loser teanagers who try to act cool, but just end up looking like retards..
