A fan of the hardcore music scene. Sometimes, but not always, straight-edge. Their clothing is usually either basketball shorts and track shoes for freedom of movement while hardcore dancing or tight pants and a band t-shirt. Bands can include, but are not limited to, Throwdown, Terror, Hatebreed, Norma Jean, Between the Buried and Me, etc.

A hardcore kid has nothing to do with v-necks, skinny jeans, or fashion in general.

We live for shows, local or big. I would rather go to a local show because the scene is usually better not filled with posers and what not.

We wear what we want.

It is most common to see us in cargo shorts, or basketball shorts though. Our shirts mostly consist of band shirts, and pull-over hoodies. The more Underground local shirt is the better. A large number of us are also edge, which means no smoking, drinking, or drugs.

We usually don't have those silly scene kid plugs, and we never have long hair. SCENES DEAD, SHAVE YOUR HEAD.

There is difference between hardcore, and your other shitty cores, know the difference. Not filled with breakdowns every 30 seconds, and no fucking poppy/chorus synth bullshit.

Hardcore Bands:
Terror
Champion
LionHeart
Have Heart
FirstBlood
Guns Up!

A retarded user on Urbandictionary.com who doesn't appreciate good music. Probably licks the semen out of his sister's pussy after his dad fucks her. He can be seen at your local music venue giving handjobs to the ticket takers to get in to see dance gavin dance. (He spent all his cash on skinny jeans and put the rest of his change in a roll and stuffed it in his pants so it would appear that he has a penis when in reality it had long since withered due to the multitude of STDs and various diseases he had gotten from sneaking into crackhouses and sticking random objects up his ass.)

A true douche bag of the metal scene. Usually seen in a sleeveless band shirt and basketball/gym shorts. At a show they will "mosh" by flailing their arms and legs about with complete disregard of anyone trying to actually listen to the music but when they hit one of these bystanders they will disappear into their group for fear of fighting one on one. The exception (and the true definition of piece of shit douche fag) is the few who bring ski masks and a posse dressed exactly like them so they can walk up and hit girls in the face. If you see someone with a ski mask on at a hardcore show...beat their ass mercilessly upon sight.

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,

A Child who claims his/her parents hate them, and hang out at Taco bell at all ours of the day. They think they are really hard core because they smoke and drink against their parents wishes. They listen to "Hard Core" music, but in reality is is extremely homosexual. Examples include. Metro Station, Bullet For my Valentine, The Devil Wears Prada, 3oh!3, and other bands who's lyrics focus on how their girl friends broke up with them, and other whinny topics. Their clothing may include, but is not limited to.....

Tight Pants
Band T-shirts (But not cool ones, the homosexual one, such as bands states above)
Straitened Hair

Plaid Shirts
Skate shoes
Gauges
Studded Belts
and other homosexual fashions that make them think that they are cool.

Three types.

One Original hardcore:

Listens to bands such as Minor Threat, Municiple Waste and Agnostic Front. Short hair or dreads. Wears sports trainers or worker boots. Occasionally DM's. Never pumps. Band hoodie, faded jeans/shorts. Very strong, fights alot.

2) Modern Hardcore:

Listens to band such as Enter Shikari, Cancer Bats and Gallows. Emo style haircuts with fringes over one eye or gunshots. Checkered lumberjack shirts or band shirts. And all over print tees. Band hoodie. Tight jeans or all over print shorts. Sports shorts too. Big belt buckles. Pumps or Nike trainers. Vans too. Flatpeak hats or baseball caps. Appeals to extreme sports such as skating, parkour and surfing. Likes to mosh. Proper mosh, not emo moshing. But not fighting like original hardcore. Likes the idea on knuckledusters but doesnt fight.

3 Emo Hardcore: Likes band such as Bullet For My Valentine, 30 Seconds to Mars and Slipknot. Refuses to admit to being an emo. Wants to be a metalhead but got rejected. Wears tight jeans, shirts and hoodies. Pumps and Vans. Studded belts. Gunshot haircuts or real emo fringes. Black hair only. Basically, an emo who doesnt want to be called an emo and was rejected by the metalheads.
