In simple terms, Batman. Batman rules. He defines hardcore.
"That is so hardcore, it's like being Batman!"

Hardcore is a term used to justify some dislike. This term is often used by those who are not "hardcore" but want others to believe they are. Bands are often critized for being "not hardcore" because they are vastly more successful than the people bitching about them.
Steve: That band sucks ass they arn't even hardcore.
Brian: Your just pissed cuz they don't live in their parents basement anymore...like some people i know. (looks at Steve and winks)

definitions of hardcore music are widely different, so this definition is meant as a guide. hardcore did originally grow out of punk somwhere along the line in the 80's. and when i say punk, i mean punk in the ballpark of the Misfits. it began to stand on its own in the early 90's with a few pioneering bands. these early bands were very unpolished, but people looking for the heaviest sound possible became the first fans. throughout the 90's, the line between hardcore and metal thinned, because at the same time some metal bands were also finding a heavier sound.
now skip ahead to the present. at this point, that heavy metal/90's hardcore gap has been closed. however there is a new barrier. everything changed when bands like Terror, Hoods, and Madball started hitting the scene (for lack of a better word). there is no denying the difference between Terror and Unearth. now that awful term "metalcore" has come about. Unearth leans sounds sort of hardcore, but they are metal. Terror is 'straight up' hardcore. kids who listen to Terror know that what they listen to is heavier than what Unearth kids listen to. so as far as they're concerned, Unearth IS NOT hardcore. so now there is 'hardcore' and there is 'real hardcore' or 'straight up hardcore'. THERE IS A DEFINATE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO STYLES OF MUSIC.
most fans of 'straight up hardcore' accept and like 'hardcore' music, but dont like it being called hardcore. and they dont like 'hardcore' kids trying to act tough, because they know the music they listen to is tougher. so as much as i am against terms like "metalcore" it is probably a good idea to start using them because of the difference between the metal side and hardcore side.
there is no 'hardcorest' music, just hardcore. if something more hardcore comes along, then that becomes the definition of hardcore. thats why bands like Terror are taking the term for themselves with little opposition; because they are right to. when critics hail their album saying "this is what hardcore is supposed to sound like" there is little arguing that its for real.
Zao (most metal side of what is called hardcore)
Unearth (a blend of hardcore and metal that leans very much on the metal side)
Remembering Never (a blend of hardcore and metal that leans very much on the hardcore side)
Terror (doesnt get more hardcore than this)

A style of rock that originated as a variation of punk rock in the late 70s/early 80s. This variation was a harder, heavier version of punk. It is a largely underground genre of rock. Most of the greatest hardcore bands were in the mid-80s.
Rise Against is an example of modern hardcore, whereas Atreyu is mistakenly labelled hardcore.
Black Flag was one of the first hardcore bands.

Hardcore is not a specific type of music, or certain style of clothing. Hardcore is a room filled with people who just like you got picked on in school and in life, and in wanting something more than the monontony that is life.
...and it's not about dancing. but dancing jumping kicking screaming and moshing (even push moshing and circle pits) are fun
Hardcore = living your life, your real life
Not Hardcore = having to look up what it means to be hardcore on the internet.
Myspace = not real life.
Going to a protest, rally, or sit in = real life
get off your myspace and go change the world.

However people seem to say that Hardcore is a form of grunge music, or 'movement'. Hardcore is actually a genre of dance music, that containes no element or 'punk/most/greebo' genre, but is simply electronica music, with faster beats. Quite large throughout the UK and Europe, it is played commonly at raves (A gathering of about 1000 sweaty people in an arena from 8pm till 6am, all completely mashed on either ectasy, base or cocaine (maybe even all of them).
Famous hardcore DJ's are DJ Hixxy, Scott Brown, Darren Styles, DJ Sy, Dougal & Gammer
Hardcore is not too be confused with Happy Hardcore which has sadly made an sort of epidemic around almost all chavs in the UK which contains a vast majority of chavvy scottish teenagers calibrating songs with bad beats, timing. And all of them using the same music sample on there MusicMaker. Examples of these twats are 'DJ'Cammy, 'DJ'Rankin, 'Gav Fuckin Bee' 'DJ' Carlee...and almost every other scottish teenage chav.
"Trance is shit mate, put some decent hardcore on."
"Wheres my clubland extreme hardcore CD."
"This DJ Cammy shit aint fucking hardcore."
"DJ Hixxy is by far the best hardcore DJ around."
