Contrary to popular belief, hardcore has almost nothing to do with the emo culture.
Hardcore music, which can very loosely be tied to emo music because of the screaming/yelling, is usually about morals and life itself. Instead of screaming, "I would very much like to kill myself," these individuals are singing things more along the lines of "I will never give up my dreams."
The typical "hardcore kid" can be found wearing any assortment of clothes, from gym shorts and hoodies to skinny jeans and baggy T's.
Along with these basics of apparel, hardcore kids often have tattoo's, gauges, short hair and sometimes keep their facial hair.
Typical hardcore bands include:
Have Heart,
Verse,
Life Long Tragedy,
Comeback Kid,
Converge,

Hardcore kids don't wear their sisters pants, paint their nails or rock that Pat Benetar emo hairdo. Those are Indie Rockers that dress like that. A hardcore kid wears a fitted 51/50 cap to the side, a hoodie with a band logo on it, baggy jeans, or cargo shorts. Always in a fresh pair of kicks, with a wallet chain and typically listens to early 90s Hip Hop like Biggie, Tupac and Wu Tang, along with all kinds of Punk, Metal and Hardcore from the 70s til the 90s..
Hardcore kids can be straight edge and socially conscience, but most tough guy types will drink beer, smoke weed, sniff coke, get rowdy in the pit and get into fights.
REAL Hardcore kids are typically in their late 20s to mid 30s because "hardcore kid" is a term that was created in the mid 90s when bands like Madball, Sick of it All, Indecision, 25 ta Life, VOD, among others, were in their prime. But like 7 Seconds said back in the early 80s, Young Til I Die!
Know your history.

lets see a true hardcore kid does not wear tight pants thats gay scene bullshit. and crews are not a part of hardcore. true hardcore kids don't follow a trend and they don't have to dance at shows to be hardcore. hardcore is about not following trends. it's about being free from the masses. and you don't have to be edge to be hardcore anyone can be edge.this is the true definiton of a hardcore kid they don't give a fuck what you think. they do what they want to. they don't follow your stupid trends. and they don't join stupid crews.
ignorant kid: hey look that kid has tight pants on and a black band shirt on he's hardcore.
true hardcore kid: your so stupid that is not hardcore that is scene bullshit. he looks like such a fag. by the way. YOUR TEAM.

Leg tattoos are popular, but someone with all of the "stupid" piercings listed above like septums and large gauges is really a scenester, not hardcore

Any person who listens to hardcore. They listen to Righteous Jams, Champion, Set Your Goals, Hoods, Donnybrook, The Warriors, Bury Your Dead, etc. They go to shows frequently and mosh. They wear sport shorts or camo and always wear band shirts. They do not have extensions or any of that pussy shit but shave their heads. Most of the time core kids are ex scenesters or ex punk looking for a true music scene. they do wear tight jeans but not their sisters, thats for pussies. They 2 step and spink kick and the majority like Positive music and claim Straightedge.
Aaron: Dude i just went to Nordstroms and got these awesome Modern Amusement shirts for $200.
Josh: I spent $30 on my outfit and ill be more hardcore than you will ever be. I spinkick, i two step, and i live pure. I am a hardcore kid.

a young person who listens to frantic and hevy music. when at gigs, a hardcore kid will punch an kick the air in a spectacular fashion. however, in a breakdown several hardcore kids will enter a pit and kick the shit out of each other. hardcore kids are the toughest of any alternative person. but beware: there are many bogus hardcore kids about! its rather popular to be one nowadays
