Am I the only hardcore dork here?

That is to say, anyone else like hardcore? Like With Honor, Shai Hulud, Melt-Banana, SOB, Bane, I Hate You, the Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of it All, Give Up the Ghost, SSD and so on and so forth?

Those are just some of my favorites, though. I have found a few AMV's using this site's search that are of those bands...and also a few other bands that I enjoy.

*shrugs* So don't be shy, and those who don't like the hardcore, feel free to make fun of my musical taste.

How does one go about defining hardcore?

Most musically intelligent people here I consider hardcore in their own ways.

el farlo: Metal hardcore

ithaqua: industrial hardcore

otohiko: King Crimson hardcore (I don't think anyone is more hardcore in this aspect)

So it depends.

Oh, and I'll give just about anything a listen, if I'm not feeling lazy.
Just point me in the right direction and something might happen. maybe.

Hardcore is the style that began in the early 80s, often applied to bands such as Black Flag, Minor Threat, Sick of It All, Bad Brains, Rollins Band, Fugazi, etc.--sort of "2nd wave" punk bands. They were sloppy punk bands that played with more intensity and heaviness than earlier ones like the Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc. Today's hardcore bands are tighter and much heavier, and can be divided into two general types (usually called East Coast or West Coast, for where the band is, but it's not always consistent). The first type are smoother, with heavy grooves that flow, with a vocalist that sings (or at least tries to) or shouts. The second type is heavier, with tight, stop-and-go rhythms and harsh vocals that are a cross between shouts and low screams.

Yea, I ran into this issue in another thread recently.

Me and Vlad use 'hardcore' as an adjective to describe the specificity of our tastes.

Farlo and the other hardcore folks use 'hardcore' as a noun to describe a specific style.

Frankly, it puzzled me just as much as 'alternative'; but now that I realized that using both those words as either nouns or adjectives does make a difference...

At the Blood Bank Forums (Dethmajor's forum), if you don't like Metal, atleast try and relate in some way.

Fun place that is, lots of new bands I've never heard of before, like Skitzo and Sick of it All (thank you Farlo and Dethmajor).

Me = metal head, almost my entire playlist is some form of metal, except Reveille and all the anime OSTs I have... Me and my anime OST's...

But, like Farlo said, if you like any form of metal, go to that link up there, it's well worth it.

I'm still trying to figure out "alternative" myself
