herd-core also herd·core (herdkôr, -kr) adj.
Herdcore is the culmination of a set of attitudes and beliefs held by the London-based Ultimate Frisbee team, the Thundering Herd. Whilst sharing similarities with the "fiercely loyal" definition of hardcore, as in "Fred was a hardcore golfer", it also requires a fun and positive outlook on Frisbee and life in general. It can equally be applied to people, actions, or even inanimate objects, as illustrated below.

Herdcore is a subcultural phenomenon that started in early 2014.
Herdcore kids are fully aware that all the choices they have are determined by mass-market based data, they embrace that their lives are enslaved by herd-mentality.
They are convinced that they are already branded before they can find their own identities.
They express themselves by wearing cowbells, nose rings (septums), brandings, cow print and burnt holes in clothes plus all sorts of cow-related accessories. Herdcore music usually includes cowbell sounds and repetitive beats.
